The new NX, which will soon go on sale, is also a waypoint for such.
Multimedia systems and connected services functions will be installed in the new NX as it undergoes its first complete redesign in four years.
What we insisted on were information gathered at the source and locally rooted product development.
Because road conditions and the way cars are used differ depending on the country and the region, there is a limit to the rolling out of a single package worldwide.
Connected technologies are useful in considering products that suit each region. To meet the expectations of our customers and society, we developed the new NX in each region, based on the concept of gathering information at the source.
Of course, the new NX will be capable of OTA (over-the-air) updates of its software. In addition to eliminating the time gap in the introduction of new technologies among regions, we will strive to create vehicles that reflect the ever-changing needs of our customers and local communities.
Multimedia and safety functions can also be updated, but I think our challenges are to increase the number of systems subject to OTA updates and to enhance various functions that please our customers.
