Technology has evolved over the past few years, but so has the will to use it and mould it in any way possible to make life easier for the user.

 

And with major tech giants such as Samsung making quite a name for itself in the Indian market over the last couple of years (to say the least), its only natural that the company will look to dive into other sectors as well where they can implement their technology is other ways possible.

 

And such is the case with the ongoing Auto Expo 2014 with Samsung taking the opportunity to make a mark in the everyday life of people with the company now collaborating with Tata Motors where the South Korean electronics heavyweight will provide in-car infotainment systems to the Indian auto maker.
