Hyundai's connected cars now work with Google Assistant

Hyundai is giving you another way to shout orders at its connected Blue Link cars shortly after it revealed an Amazon Alexa partnership. The company is teaming with Google, letting you give commands to Sante Fe, Sonata or other compatible models via its voice-controlled Assistant. Using a Google Home device, you'll be able to say "OK Google, start my Sante Fe and set the temperature to 72 degrees," or "ask Blue Link to lock my car," to give just a couple examples. Voice-controlled devices like Alexa make a certain amount of sense with connected cars, letting you do certain actions a bit quicker than using a smartphone app. Automakers like Ford, BMW and Hyundai all released "skills" for Echo devices, and Google's Assistant works in a similar way.
