What is connected car
Put simply, it’s a car that uses mobile internet technology to control key functions remotely via a smartphone, smartwatch, tablet device or computer.
For example, the Volvo Sensus system enables motorists to operate and monitor information, entertainment and communication settings on their car by means of the Volvo On Call app, keeping them in touch with it, wherever they are.
An example of connected car
That’s where the connected car really comes into its own. For example, Volvo On Call automatically alerts the emergency services if you’re involved in a serious collision, using GPS to locate your vehicle and send help.
The same is true if you have a breakdown. Just press the help button and you’ll be connected to an operator. You’ll be back on the road in no time.
