Today being consistently plugged into technology is the norm. These days, talking with your car is no longer an outlier. We’ve come a long way since Bluetooth. Now Hyundai and Google are working together to make its cars more compatible with Blue Link Agent for the Google Assistant. The incorporation, which Hyundai revealed recently at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES®), gives the driver the ability to control certain functions and use commands from anywhere inside their home. This feature will be especially useful for New Mexico drivers who want to blast their car with cold air so they can feel refreshed when they step inside their vehicle, after braving the rugged New Mexico heat. Drivers will soon be able to tell their car things like, “Ok Google, Tell Blue Link to start my Santa Fe and set the temperature to 72 degrees”, “Ok Google, Tell Blue Link to send the address of the Mandarin Oriental, in Las Vegas to my Sonata”, and “Ok Google, ask Blue Link to lock my car.”
If that’s not convenience, I don’t know what is.
“Our customers are finding smart home integrations like the one we are showcasing with Google Home to be very useful and convenient,” said Manish Mehrotra, director, digital business planning and connected operations, Hyundai Motor America. “We will continue to add layers of convenience to the Blue Link connected car system and our cars, making features like remote EV charge management, remote locking, temperature and remote start easier than ever while sitting on the couch and saying ‘Ok Google.'”
