# SmartDeviceLink (SDL)
-SmartDeviceLink (SDL) is a standard set of protocols and messages that connect applications on a smartphone to a vehicle which enable the consumer to safely interact with their applications while driving. There are three main components that make up the SDL ecosystem. Vehicle Manufacturers (OEMs) implement their vehicle HMI with the [Core](https://github.com/smartdevicelink/sdl_core) component based on a set of guidelines and templates. OEMs use the [SDL Server](https://github.com/smartdevicelink/sdl_server) to update application policies and gather usage information for connected applications. App developers implement the [iOS](https://github.com/smartdevicelink/sdl_ios) and [Android](https://github.com/smartdevicelink/sdl_android) libraries into their applications to enable command and control via the connected head unit.
+SmartDeviceLink (SDL) is a standard set of protocols and messages that connect applications on a smartphone to a vehicle head unit. This messaging enables a consumer to interact with their application using common in-vehicle interfaces such as a touch screen display, embedded voice recognition, steering wheel controls and various vehicle knobs and buttons. There are three main components that make up the SDL ecosystem.

+ * The [Core](https://github.com/smartdevicelink/sdl_core) component is the software which Vehicle Manufacturers (OEMs) implement in their vehicle head units. Integrating this component into their head unit and HMI based on a set of guidelines and templates enables access to various smartphone applications.
+ * The optional [SDL Server](https://github.com/smartdevicelink/sdl_server) can be used by Vehicle OEMs to update application policies and gather usage information for connected applications.
