GENIVI Alliance to Demonstrate GENIVI 1.0 — Its First Open Source-Based IVI Platform at International CES 2010

Rollout of v1.0 Platform to Help Accelerate Development of Infotainment Applications for Connected Vehicles

LAS VEGAS, December 30 - GENIVI Alliance, an automotive industry association driving the
development and adoption of an open in-vehicle Infotainment (IVI) reference
platform, will be publicly unveiling GENIVI Platform version 1.0 at the
International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas from January 7th - 10th.

The GENIVI Platform 1.0 represents the collaborative efforts of the core
and charter members of the Alliance, including founding companies BMW,
Delphi, General Motors, Intel, Magneti Marelli, PSA, Visteon Corporation, and
Wind River. The platform, recently made available to its member companies,
may be used by Tier One and OEMs to reduce the cost of developing IVI devices
and greatly reduce the time to bring innovative, differentiated IVI devices
to the consumer market.

"The release of GENIVI 1.0 comes just ten months after the Alliance
launch and is tangible proof of the commitment of our members and the
automotive industry," said Graham Smethurst, GENIVI president. "This platform
will greatly accelerate the pace at which new and compelling automotive
applications can be developed, and will allow for new business models to
emerge in the in-vehicle infotainment market. With 47 members in its first 10
months, and still growing, the Alliance now has both the software foundation
and the membership required to deliver on the GENIVI vision: broad adoption
of a standardized open platform that delivers the non-competitive portions of
the IVI software."

In-vehicle Infotainment (IVI) is a rapidly-changing and expanding field
within the automotive industry and includes many types of applications
including music, news, multimedia, navigation, telephony and internet
services.

GENIVI 1.0, an extensible, open source IVI platform adds key automotive
elements to the core services available from existing open source projects.
It establishes a consistent foundation upon which automobile manufacturers
and their partner suppliers can add their differentiated applications and
services to create competitive IVI products.

A reference implementation of GENIVI Platform 1.0 may be viewed in the
Visteon showcase located in the Central Plaza, CP13, in front of the Las
Vegas Convention Center.
