Benefits

The en route Web

Opera's flexible but standards-compliant browser can be easily adapted for use on both portable and embedded devices in automobiles. Updates and upgrades to interactive functions and information (maps, location-based services) are simplified with Opera’s offering.

Need for speed

With connectivity speed as one of the biggest issues facing Web use in cars, Opera’s HTML-transcoding solution provides a faster, smoother experience for end-users.

Widgets

Web applications offer immediate value-added, personalized service for increasingly demanding end-users, who want to be able to browse the Web anywhere and have quick access to useful functions of their choosing.

Security and safety

Opera's long-standing commitment to security couples well with both security and safety protocols in the automotive sector. Web-based applications are fully customizable, enabling manufacturers to implement specific components, e.g. when HMI issues potentially involve regulatory and safety factors, an automaker might develop a UI with a greater emphasis on safety features (e.g. not allowing a driver to browse while the car is moving).

The Opera reputation

Opera is a trusted partner and solid, experienced company working closely with partners to rapidly bring new products to market. Traded on the Norwegian stock exchange and deployed to millions of customers, Opera Software is a leader in the Web technology industry.
