Connected car technologies, which are fast becoming a standard in self-driving cars, need to make use of high-speed data transmission to co-exist. A known IT networking tech firm and a popular South Korean auto brand are bridging these technologies together in today's world of autonomous cars.

Cisco Systems is closely working together with car maker Hyundai Motors to develop upcoming online connected car features for the auto brand's new lineup, Fortune reported. The collaboration between the two would concentrate on creating a system which would boost data transmission as part of Hyundai's connected cars' platform for future models.

Both companies strategically said that they planned to enable a more effective sense of communication between the vehicles and its included smart car systems. Advanced driver assistance systems, such as lane steering and automated brakes, would require the ability to work with sensors and cameras aside from being able to send real-time information to the driver via the car's dashboard display.

Vehicle simulations would be the ultimate tests for both companies; Hyundai Motors is also planning to move it up a notch further through cloud computing analytics and smart car security tech. Details on this next venture have yet to be disclosed by the company, as per the news agency.

MySanAntonio stated in a related post that latest survey claimed Cisco and IBM as the top competing tech firms in the connected cars technology. At this point, Cisco System's move to partner with one of the top car makers in the world thru installation of its high-speed data transmission technology into Hyundai's connected cars allows Cisco to consistently retain its mark in the IT industry. Also, news has also been buzzing about another company, which is said to be behind Cisco System's newest gadgets and upcoming technological innovations. Wonder who could it be.
