Making Driving More Enjoyable and Convenient
The network-linked Pioneer Smart Loop enables car navigation systems to infinitely integrate people together and embodies Pioneer's key vision for the next-generation navigation system. Under this concept, the highly evolved navigation systems allow drivers to share massive amounts of information stored over the network, which results in tremendous enhancements in the volume and quality of driving information.
