 After GPS and Bluetooth, other wireless technologies will appear in the automobile. Starting with a WiFi connexion for Internet access and for communication from vehicle to vehicle, to the reception of TNT (DVB-T or DVB-H), passing by UWB (for audio and video streaming), the vehicle of tomorrow will be a veritable centre of communication. WIMA proposes to explore the technologies which will change the lives of the driver and his passengers. Take the wheel of innovation and come and discover what will change tomorrow under the bonnet, for the general public as well as the professionals.
