How to resolve AdBlock issue? WorldDAB Automotive 2026
How radio stations are surfaced and accessed in the connected car is one of the most active debates in the industry right now. At WorldDAB Automotive 2026, three of the leading voices shaping that conversation are brought togethether - practitioners who have moved beyond the theory and into real-world implementation.
One of the hottest topics in the connected car is brought with "Prominence in in-car user interfaces – goal, challenge, solution". This session explores the German framework developed by the German Media Authorities and the results of a proof of concept with different partners - examining how regulatory principles can be translated into practical implementation, and how the model may inform approaches in other markets. The session concludes with an open Q&A.
