Infotainment systems are the integrated screens and interfaces in vehicles that combine information and entertainment functions—navigation, music, phone connectivity, climate controls, and vehicle settings in one dashboard display.
The term blends *information* and *entertainment*.
The rental car's infotainment system took me ten minutes to figure out.
Once limited to luxury vehicles, these systems are now standard in most new cars.
