Harman International announced at this week’s Intel Developer Forum that it will use the Intel Atom ultra-low power microprocessor to create infotainment systems for 2012 BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes. Obviously, this means one more victory for Intel in moving into the car as the PC industry suffers slow growth. For the car-buyer, it has the potential to drive down the cost of information and entertainment. Today, it’s possible to spend more than $7,500 on audio, video, Bluetooth, and navigation in a high-end. Half that cost could evaporate if automakers used standardized components but with unique interfaces.
