Nissan Motor Co. says it will use Intel Corp.'s Atom microprocessor to power its next-generation infotainment systems that begin to phase into production next year.
Nissan unveiled an Atom-powered twin-screen display in its Infiniti LE electric concept car at the New York auto show last week. The display, which will bow in at least one Infiniti model in 2013, can simultaneously show traffic and navigation information to the driver and a movie to the passenger.
Intel is pushing its Atom chip, which was designed for mobile phones and netbook computers, for automotive applications. The company signed similar infotainment system development deals with BMW and Daimler a year ago, although neither of those companies has gone into production yet with an Intel-based system.
Intel previously created the $100 million Intel Capital Connected Car Fund and opened a tech center in Karlsruhe, Germany, to help develop automotive telematics systems.
