More than any other occasionally in the history of the Consumer Electronics Show , car manufacturers showed up in full force to last week’s show in Las Vegas — a main sign that cars are going high tech this year.
While CES used to be filled with tech companies showing off car stereos, car manufacturers themselves are now bewitching up space on the floor to show off all the cool things their vehicles can do. And app vendors are accepted car heavy too — companies that showed off cool smartphone apps over the last match up of years are now hyping their apps for a car dashboard instead. If the dashboard doesn’t run apps right away, the console will find some sort of crazy way to interact with your apps using the driver’s present.
For example, Mercedes-Benz head Dieter Zetsche debuted the Mbrace2 soothe , which connects the dashboard to the cloud for over-the-air software updates and gives the proprietor access to Facebook, Google, news highlights, and more from the dashboard. The Mbrace2 d will also have 3G Internet access, but it’s unclear if you’d need to purchase a text plan to use it. The connected system will also include “remote access capabilities” such as small vehicle health diagnostics, a driving journal, and speed alerts.
