Apps Alliance at the Connected Car Expo

Automotive development is more opportunistic than ever before, and the Apps Alliance is at the forefront of the topic bringing the latest and greatest insights to developers.  We visited the Connected Car Expo in Los Angeles, California on November 19, to uncover the hottest trends in auto innovation, explore consumer expectations, and discuss resources and tools for developers to succeed in this space.

In light of our recent whitepaper, Internet of Things: Automotive as a Microcosm of IoT, we convened industry leaders to analyze the intersection of IoT and the automotive industry. View our videos below to get up to speed on current innovations and future opportunities in connected cars. While at the Connected Car Expo, we also caught up with finalists from the Connected City App Pursuit challenge. You can see each of their three minute demo videos here.
