HD
Radio developer iBiquity says there are now 20 million
factory-installed and aftermarket vehicles with HD Radio receivers on
the road. The figure has been given a lift by a strong year for new
car sales. An HD Radio-equipped vehicle is sold in the U.S. every
four seconds, or approximately 20,000 cars per day. And despite a
recent pullback by General Motors, three new automotive brands --
Nissan, Chrysler, and Lamborghini -- have added HD Radio receivers
since last year’s NAB Radio Show.
