Mojio, the leading open platform for connecting cars, today announced the Hack Your Ride Apps for Cars hackathon sponsored by AT&T and Invoke. The Hack Your Ride Apps for Cars hackathon which takes place from June 16th till 3rd of September challenges developers to maximize the market opportunity of developing a connected car app. It aims to create the next big thing for connected cars using the Mojio developer center and integrating AT&T APIs to win an “app-celerator” package provided by Invoke worth $5,000 USD.
Developers can register as teams or as individuals and will need to submit a video that falls into one of four categories, by the submission deadline of August 10, 2015. The app must be developed for the Android or iOS operating systems.

It’s a green field right now with only dozens as opposed to hundreds of apps having been created for the connected car. For developers interested in being the benchmark against which other apps are measured, there is an immense business opportunity today that will pay off exponentially as the connected car space grows.
