Artificial Intelligence in your Car - Where are Smart Cars Headed? - 1redDrop

Today's cars are getting smarter by the year. With internet connectivity coming standard on most new vehicles, several automakers and technology companies are entering this niche market to provide on-board infotainment, mapping and other applications. The hardware is already built into many cars, but it's the integration with smartphones that makes this an extremely useful tool. On September 1, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) announced that the 2017 models of the Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 will get smartphone integration on UConnect, their onboard digital interface system. Apple users will be able to integrate the on-board system with Apple CarPlay and access everything from messages to maps to music to their phone contacts using either Siri voice control or UConnect's touch interface.
