I don't think there's a large enough market for this to make sense, considering the current systems work fine.
I don't think many car buyers are looking for a 225 Watt video card in their car.

Considering Intel is going through rough financial times right now, I think there are better decisions to be made than entering this market segment.

Just what I was needing, the ability to play AAA games in the car.
I would love to crash and burn while playing Cyberpunk 2077
-no one.
joke aside, infotainment is for the copilot or the kids in the backseat, mobile-like game experiences or video, AAA games demand a big attention span window and also the power consumption is too high, imagine draining the battery on the parking lot.
Steam deck and the likes are far better option.
 
If Intel could sell one of their video cards for every Tom's Hardware article about Intel video cards, they'd double their sales.
 
I seriously wonder what is Intel thinking when they produced a 200+ W GPU for cars. Is it because they can't sell them to the PC market? And I wonder about the safety of the driver and passengers to have someone gaming in the car. It can be a distraction to the driver especially.

It's going to be one of two things:
  • There was an actual opportunity presented to them by a car manufacturer (or one of the component manufacturers providing "OEM" AV equipment for car manufacturers), or
  • There's a product manager trying to wish an opportunity into existence for a product that they can't otherwise sell.
What Intel needs is a scalable, power-efficient GPU, and I remain unconvinced that their approach thus far is either scalable or power-efficient. The other challenge, that they seem to be effectively addressing, is drivers: Building a modern graphics card driver is hundreds (probably thousands) of man years of effort, and it's probably a bigger blocker to market entry than the hardware is.
