According to Volvo, due to the Snapdragon Cockpit Platform from Qualcomm Technologies, the infotainment system with Google built-in is more than twice as fast as the outgoing system, with ten times faster graphics generation. A more responsive infotainment system could help commercial fleets reduce driver distraction and enhance safety.
