It’s clear the infotainment market is growing rapidly, from augmented reality sat navs to voice control. 6/10 of UK drivers don’t trust infotainment The survey asked 1,000 Brits if they trust high-tech infotainment to help drivers and found that a huge 6/10 revealed that they don’t have confidence in it. The 2020 Initial Quality Study by JD Power also revealed that a quarter of complaints from new drivers relate to infotainment, with the top problems coming from: Built-in voice recognition Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity Touchscreens Built-in navigation systems Bluetooth connectivity Drivers say infotainment is an increasing distraction It’s not just failing infotainment which puts drivers off – many say it’s a distraction, too.
