Samsung's next big bet on cars is a tiny display you can control with the wave of a hand
Navdy
Harman, a major supplier of car infotainment systems, has invested in a tiny, heads-up display you can pin to your dashboard that was created by startup Navdy.
Samsung announced it was buying Harman in a deal worth $8 billion in November, highlighting the electronics maker's pivot into the automotive space following the withdrawal of its explosion-prone Galaxy Note 7 phone. Harman's partnership with Navdy marks its first investment since the Samsung acquisition was announced.
Samsung's acquirement of Harman is expected to close mid-2017, pending shareholder and regulatory approval.
Harman announced in a press release that it will sell the Navdy heads-up display to automakers as part of the investment, beginning in January 2017. Here's how the Navdy display works:
