Every day countless people drive in vehicles. A conservative estimates assume 1.4 billion daily trips in private vehicles. Which have at least one passenger on board. The four major Ride Hailing companies alone complete 50 million trips each day. Unfortunately, this travel time is untapped for most people and more of a necessary evil. Even with modern vehicles, the possibilities for entertainment, relaxation or work due to structural technical limitations and a risk of emerging carsickness or motion sickness is limited.
Existing entertainment offers are always a compromise in the vehicle. The screen sizes are relatively small and the duration of the experience is not adapted to the travel time. Therefore, the company have developed a new entertainment format in which the presentation of the content can be synchronized with the movement of a vehicle almost without delay. The basis for this are algorithms for autonomous driving, as well as highly immersive display technologies such as virtual, mixed or augmented reality. This results in fascinating, flexible entertainment experiences that can be imagined as individual amusement parks in the vehicle.

Agencies often manage large budgets and campaign structures. But the campaign optimization via Amazon Advertising is fragmented, non-transparent and only limited to controllable.
