It seems as though car companies are all rushing to have the latest and greatest technology in their vehicles right now – and South Korean manufacturer, Hyundai, are certainly no different. In fact, they’ve been working on a new app that is designed to make family life so much simpler. But what is this new system?
Intelligent Personal Cockpit
Back at the CES 2018, Hyundai unveiled something they were calling the Intelligent Personal Cockpit. While they seem to be quite a long way from the full version of this software, this new product is an excellent insight into what else could be to come. The new feature currently has no name, but it has some fascinating abilities – most of which are dominated by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Family Scheduling
The concept has been designed to connect every member of the family to sync calendars, set reminders and tasks, and let everyone know about any trip updates or changes. If one parent has an important appointment they need to get to, for example, then the Hyundai system would tell the other one that they’d need to pick the kids up from school. It helps to avoid scheduling conflicts while also letting you know the best time to leave for certain events. The calendars, reminders, and tasks can all by synced from most cell phones along with other Hyundai systems, which means that it’s fairly compatible for the whole family.
Artificial Intelligence
As mentioned, this is all one part of a bigger plan from Hyundai who are investing in AI for their infotainment systems. It’s designed to work with their upcoming voice assistant and will even be able to control certain external voices, such as a wireless speaker. Eventually, this will be an all-singing and all-dancing piece of technology that can help make family life that much easier. They’re hoping to even be able to link things like your Crock Pot at home… All thanks to the power of AI!
Hyundai are working hard on their Intelligent Personal Cockpit and it’s likely they’ll release new features over time. We can’t wait to have a car that can plan our lives…
