Connected cars are particularly at home in the area of the Internet of Things, digital transformation and automation. This term is used to describe cars that are connected to other devices, services or vehicles via the internet. This smart networking makes the car an important part of the digital world.
A connected car continuously sends and receives data. For example, it can communicate with the driver's smartphone, call up current traffic information or notify the garage directly in the event of a breakdown. Navigation services, music streaming or automated emergency calls also work via this.
An illustrative example: you drive to work in the morning and your connected car warns you in good time of a traffic jam on your route. At the same time, it suggests a faster alternative route and automatically informs your calendar that your arrival time has changed. This saves you time and nerves - thanks to smart networking.
Connected cars are an important step towards connected everyday life and show how modern technology can make mobility more convenient, safer and more efficient.
