AutoPC

The AutoPC is a brand of carputer (the integration of a personal computer in an automotive environment) jointly developed by Clarion and Microsoft.

The first (and only) product was sold by Clarion as an aftermarket product. This product utilized a 60 MHz Hitachi's SH3 processor running Windows CE. The device had an 128x64 8 color LCD screen capable of displaying information from the navigation program as well as voice recognition and speech capabilities. It also included contacts and calendar applications. The standard version of the AutoPC (sometimes called Auto PC) also included a simple "directions" application which used an add-on GPS module to get the user to their destination. Clarion followed this up with a more sophisticated navigation application with a map display and turn-by-turn directions.

Clarion created a follow-up using a next generation version of the Windows CE for Automotive operating system called the Joyride. This included MP3 playback via CD-R and compact flash cards. It also included an improved navigation system, including GPS receiver and gyroscope for inertial navigation.

The AutoPC was created by Microsoft's [http://www.microsoft.com/windowsautomotive/default.mspx Automotive Business Unit] . This group has gone on to develop several products for car manufacturers, including Ford's Sync, released in 2007.
