Vehicles hitting the road today have an increasing amount of vehicle connectivity and we are excited to be working with Elektrobit to enable OEMs to wirelessly deliver new features and applications, improve performance and quickly install software patches."
"We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Argus in the OTA field", said Martin Schleicher, Executive Vice President Elektrobit. "OTA is critical as we move to the new world of mobility.
