According to the latest statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, there are an estimated 140 million Americans who spend more than two hours per day in their vehicles, with 50 minutes dedicated to commute time alone. Due to this growing trend, todays content providers are looking for driver-friendly solutions to deliver their content to their customers.

Kaliki has partnered with Aha by Harman to provide audio content to Acura, Honda, Porsche and Subaru vehicles.

Through this partnership, Ahas interactive service will allow audio content provided by Kaliki to be available to the driver at the touch of a preset button, just like radio.

We understand what it takes to provide large scale audio production and distribution to customers, says Tirrell Payton, CEO of BT Software, Kaliki, Its all about the point of consumption: Kaliki helps publishers transform their content and engage their customers. Kaliki helps customers get the content that they want at the point of consumption in the vehicle.
