When talking on a cell phone first started presenting an issue, hands-free sets were created to allow drivers to focus on the road ahead. Making calls, however, is only one of the thousands of functions of today's Smartphones. While a hands-free system for streaming music and sending text messages is a great idea, Volvo knows it's hard to translate apps from a Smartphone's touch screen to an in-dash display.
This is the reason why Volvo recently unveiled its first connected infotainment concept at the Consumer Electronics Show. Ditching Smartphone connectivity in favor of fully integrated apps, the new system promises to simplify the process of staying connected while driving.
Creating a system like this is no small task, and Volvo knows it. That's why it's enlisted the help of Cybercom, a fellow Swedish company. Rather than creating luxury cars, however, Cybercom is a leading IT consulting firm with an extensive background in network communications.
With Cybercom's expertise at hand, Volvo is ready to create a comprehensive infotainment system that makes it easy to do everything, from checking your social media feeds to arranging your next Volvo service appointment while cruising the streets of the greater Alpharetta area.
What else will we be able to do with it?
As Volvo and Cybercom continue work on this system, further details are sure to emerge. Because everyone at North Point Volvo is committed to keeping you informed, we invite you to stay tuned to our blog via your RSS reader. That way, the moment we hear anything, you'll be able to read about it in your inbox.
