Self-driving cars offer chance to re-imagine sound systems

As auto manufacturers continue developing tomorrow's self-driving cars, there's a parallel design process taking shape. Because as soon as engineers have perfected the autonomous vehicle, a new kind of passenger experience will take center stage, one that includes the sophisticated integration of rich, enveloping audio and video. Self-driving cars won't only be used for transportation. Conveniently, passengers will be able to work as they travel along, holding video meetings and conference calls. Or they will enjoy music, TV and movies much as they would in their own home theaters.
