As a driver, have you ever wondered how to make it more
easier, more fun and more comfortable for you to drive your own car that
you could almost feel that you're inside your house or your office? Well, I
have good news for you people.
Some tech companies are in talks with some car makers for
collaboration on productivity and entertainment enhancements for cars in the
future.
At the recently concluded Mobile World Congress 2012 in
Barcelona, Samsung has announced that they are in collaboration with Toyota to
create the Samsung Car Mode Application. The app is said to integrate Samsung's
mobile communication tech with Toyota's In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) for
connectivity, multimedia capabilities and internet services.
Meanwhile, Mercedes Benz has also announced that they're
looking to integrate Apple's Siri into its A-class electronics system called
Drive Kit Plus. It will basically let the driver access iPhone apps while
driving through voice commands.
Another company, Research In Motion (RIM), have announced
that it's going to integrate their Blackberry QNX technology into Porsche.
In summary, we're going to see next-generation GPS, games,
videos, photos and web surfing, as well as using only voice commands to change
channels on the radio, send texts, make calls, listen to music and create
reminders right in the comfort of our own car.
There you have it, folks. Welcome to the future of car
technology. Enjoy!
