"NQ Mobile was founded for the smartphone era, "said Dr. Vincent Wenyong Shi, Chairman of NQ Mobile Inc. "Link Motion is positioned for the future smart car revolution.  Just as smartphones became far more valuable to people than basic communication devices the automated, intelligent car will never just be a vehicle for getting from Point A to Point B in the future.
