Consumers Want Their Home And Car Connected To Each Other

This has potential implications for marketers, since advertising is more likely going to travel directly through car screens and speakers rather than through smartphones. Location added to the mix of targeting mobile (as in driving) consumers adds an additional twist.

And how consumers pay for these connections also has to be worked out, with 61% of car owners preferring to bundle vehicle data with smartphone data under one billing plan.
