Audi: News service with Fraunhofer

Audi and the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS present “NewsService Journaline”.

The companies say the service allows passengers to navigate through thematically organized textual news. Updated information is received via Digital Radio DAB. It can also be accessed with most PC-based Digital Radio Mondiale receivers.

Passengers can mark individual items as favorites for direct future access. Topics can include news, sorted traffic messages or Rolodex information, as examples.

The service is integrated into the Audi Multi Media Interface, and presented in the display. In future, Audi plans to upgrade the feature with voice command recognition and speech output.

DAB radio receivers can be ordered for the Audi models Audi A6/S6, A8/S8 and Audi Q7.
