Audi teams up with NVIDIA for next-gen MMI replete with Google Earth, Vibrante entertainment system




Finally Audi steps up there navagition game, now we just have to wait for it...oh Audi (peep the video after the break). Adding google earth is a key move and about time someone did it, thought it would have Mercedes though. Official Press Release after the break.

As if NVIDIA hasn't been busy enough this year, what with its next generation Tegra chips and all, looks like the kids have inked a deal with Audi to supply the GPU for its new in-dash navigation and entertainment system. The 3G MMI system sports something called the Vibrante engine for dual zone entertainment (allowing different media on dash and backseat monitors), as well as Google Earth, 3D topography, real-time traffic reporting and navigation, iPod, SD card, USB memory stick support, and online video via the optional EDGE modem (funny, mums the word on handwriting recognition). This bad boy starts shipping with the Audi A8 in 2011, and moves on to all of the manufacturer's cars in the model year 2012. PR after the break.
