WHY THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IS YOUR CAR'S NEW COMMAND CENTRE AND COMPANION

Mr. Anand Kulkarni, Chief Products Officer, Head of HV Programs and Customer Service, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd.

Electric vehicles have reshaped the way we think about mobility, but one feature has emerged as the centre of this transformation: the infotainment system. What began as a simple unit for music or navigation has now become the digital core of the driving experience. It is the hub through which drivers interact with their cars, manage comfort and safety, and stay connected to the wider world. More than just a screen, the infotainment system defines how people experience their EVs, positioning itself as both a command centre and a companion for every journey.

DIGITAL COCKPIT IS THE TRUE REPRESENTATION OF GADGET ON WHEELS

The clearest sign of digital evolution lies in the way infotainment systems have advanced into full-fledged digital cockpits. Vehicles today can rightly be described as gadgets on wheels, and at the centre of that shift lies the infotainment console.

High-definition touchscreens bring together navigation, vehicle controls, and diagnostics in one place, replacing the scattered buttons and dials of the past. Drivers get to see real-time battery levels, projected range, or system alerts instantly, creating an experience that feels closer to using a smart device than operating a traditional car. The outcome is a new level of interactivity where information is crystal clear, easy to access, and instantaneous.
