The initiatve for the car-domains was started by American automotive suppliers. "The Web has become such a daily part of our lives, its pervasive use in the vehicle is inevitable and demands that the industry agree on specific formats that will adapt the traditional Web browsing experience to the driving experience," declares ATX President and CEO Steve Millstein. "This proposal is similar to the adaptation that was required to develop and interface between the smart phone and the Web. Browsing the Internet in the vehicle is a unique environment with unique characteristics."
ATX stresses the importance of the car-domains for the automotive suppliers: "As envisioned, the initial users will be automobile manufacturers and their technology, and communications partners and suppliers. This group would need to define requirements in regards to the expected user experience. While the primary vision of the dot.car domain is to give motorists the ability to surf the World Wide Web and experience customized Web browsing, automobile manufacturers would benefit from the process by:
Ensuring flexibility to adapt the embedded user interface for the life of the vehicle; Dramatically reducing lead time to market compared to the current embedded software design process; Achieving the capability to customize according to vehicle model, country and motorist; Facilitating easy customer access to content and updates; Meeting customer expectations of web browsing while keeping a safe and convenient driving experience."
