The Connected Car- Are We There Yet?
With connected services becoming standard in the majority of new cars, the connected car is no longer a thing of the future. Further, connected cars are now utilizing the cloud to extend the connected experience beyond the car to give users access to services from mobile phones and the web. New, innovative features provide drivers the ability to navigate to friends via social networking platforms, protect their vehicles from unauthorized use with the touch of a button on their smartphone, and access concierge services both in and out of their vehicle.
