Abstract
An infotainment system for a motor vehicle includes a display screen positioned to be visible by a passenger of the motor vehicle. A storage arrangement stores a collection of video segments to be presented on the display screen. The storage arrangement also stores metadata in association with the video segments. A user interface receives inputs from the passenger. A sensor detects a characteristic of the passenger. A processing arrangement is communicatively coupled to each of the display screen, the collection of video segments, the user interface and the sensor. The processing arrangement selects one of the video segments to present on the display screen. The selecting of the one video segment is dependent upon inputs received from the passenger via the user interface, signals received from the sensor indicative of the characteristic of the passenger, and metadata associated with individual segments.
