Connected Blue Link cars from Hyundai will soon get Google Assistant which will offer additional convenience to its customers. The Google technology enables customers to give out voice commands to access various functions like turning-on the engine, setting cabin temperature, lock/unlock the vehicle and much more.
The Google Assistant powers the Google Home, a voice activated speaker, which provides real-time answers, activates music services and more. Until now, Google Home has been successfully used on smart home devices, and this time on cars, will be used to send destination on car’s navigation system, start/stop charging of plug-in vehicles and remote horn/lights.
The technology for cars is in its initial phase of testing and Hyundai will be speaking about it in detail at the ongoing CES. The Google Assistant on Google Home has to be linked to customer’s Blue Link account to use the Google Assistant voice activated services. Once linked, the Hyundai vehicles will receive remote service commands only after Google Assistant prompts owners for their Blue Link Personal Identification Number (PIN).
