Equipment enabling the viewing of streaming video content from Netflix within an automobile is a growing area of consumer electronics. These solutions range from dedicated aftermarket displays designed for vehicular use to integration with existing in-car entertainment systems via smartphones or tablets. For example, a tablet mounted on a headrest connected to the vehicle’s Wi-Fi hotspot allows passengers to stream Netflix content.
The availability of video streaming services within vehicles enhances the passenger experience, particularly on long journeys. This technology provides entertainment options for passengers, potentially reducing travel-related stress and boredom. Historically, in-car entertainment was limited to radio and physical media; advancements in connectivity and display technology have enabled access to on-demand streaming video.
