Based on the title, Ken may be Doug Davis’ replacement reporting to Murthy. On the other hand, there are so many VP’s inside Intel who would know what his role is. His long tenure will be useful in managing the diverse community of Intel engineers and marketing teams, but does he have the IoT understanding that everything must be open, not all about one vendor.

Probably the signing bonus is not the major incentive. I’m sure the production model will look less like an ‘iPhone with wheels” We would assume the Siri button is inside somewhere.

We see the combination of high performance and functional safety as a natural evolution of Intel’s IoT platform and strategy

The multi billion currency value of the auto industry to the world economy is at stake, I wonder how many realize the potential impact on everything.

Try wrestling a phone out of a teenager’s hands and you’ll agree with Mr. Klein. Not sure if its about privacy or personalization, but phone sharing does not happen. Will car sharing? It might if all your personal data stays on your phone, including your vehicle configuration.
