When it comes to gadgets, everyone wonders, what will be the next big thing? Every year in Las Vegas, the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES) challenges manufacturers and electronic geniuses to find the answer. From home appliances to new cell phones to gaming and software, CES brings the future to the present for one week and shows the world what electronics are capable of.
Lucky for us, car technology is one of the biggest innovative categories of the year. This year proved to be a record breaker, with over 150 automotive electronic gadget and manufacturing companies making their presence known to salivating car lovers from all over the world.
One major player in this year’s showcase was Hyundai.
Hyundai is getting closer and closer to releasing the first worthy opponent to GM's On Star.
Called Blue Link, the tele-matics service will offer Hyundai owners innovative features including remote control, automated vehicle diagnostic, recall advisory, stolen vehicle recovery, vehicle immobilization, gas station locator, gas prices, up to the minute traffic and weather and even restaurant ratings, all with voice or manual activation.
Hyundai Blue Link will be available soon on all models produced by Hyundai. The first cars to get the system will be the Sonata and the Veloster 3-door coupe, which will be launched later this year.
Be the first to see innovation in action!
Very cool! Ford, Nissan, and Gm all are combating with each other, as this is going to be the new standard in vehicle electronics.
ReplyDeleteWHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ON YOUR NEXT VEHICLE?
lets hear some of your creative ideas!
The technology is already here to be able to operate all of your car's electronic from a smart phone. I want to start it up, put the top and windows down, set the radio, set the AC and program the navigation from my phone or computer before I get anywhere near the car. Just a matter of time, I think.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I thought cassettes were a big improvement over 8-tracks when they first came out. Time flies.
