Smartphone applications in the automotive world

 Smartphone applications in the automotive world

With the advancement of technology in the world of vehicles, one may now plan the next day's itinerary while sitting on the sofa in the living room, and the flight path is then transmitted to the navigation system in the car, and the car trips the next morning begin. The vacation was supposed to happen yesterday.

    

Some may wonder if there are other good jobs or if car companies have not been able to fulfil their ambitions in terms of applications in cars because this job is considered the best example of application jobs in the automotive world, and if there are other good jobs or if car companies have not been able to fulfil their ambitions in terms of applications in cars because this job is considered the best example of application jobs in the automotive world.

    

Smartphone applications in the automotive world

"Almost all car companies provide applications suitable for their cars," Luca Liechte of the German car magazine "Auto Motor und Sport" explained in response to such inquiries. "However, many of these applications provide only limited functions, in addition to the fact that the functions can be controlled."

    

"It can be extremely good to set an appointment for a car maintenance at the online tech workshop, but this function seldom works, and the built-in travel history is an exciting job for many, especially drivers of service and commercial vehicles," Laicht said of the auto companies' applications.

    

Other services provided by some automobile companies' applications include searching for the car's position, opening and closing windows, securing and unlocking the car, as well as the ability to query about the fuel tank's level and the remaining distance related to the amount of fuel available. Some foreign brands, such as Mercedes and Mini, include extra engine information in their applications, such as acceleration, engine load, engine oil temperature, and coolant temperature.

Some companies' applications, such as BMW, Hyundai, Tesla, and Mercedes, have handy features like Remote Smart Parking Assist or Remote Control Parking, which make it easier to enter and depart the automobile from various locations. A smartphone application or a special key control the automobile in the parking area, and the visitor queue is in some positions.

    

"Applications with some cars, such as electric ones, allow the ability to know the current charging status of the battery as well as pre-condition the car, which is an extra benefit," Laicht continued. 

    

Pre-configuration is commonly defined as the perfect regulation of the charging condition of the electric car battery and the temperature in the automobile before moving, or regulating these equipment as required by international firms. 

    

The ability to transfer the flight path from the smartphone to the car's navigation system is also a valuable feature, since it saves time and effort and is more practical.

    

And the German expert Laicht criticises the fact that the driver is not always informed that the data is transferred to the owner, which is common when the application is associated with the car rather than the user, and thus one must read the general terms and conditions, privacy policy, and data protection before installing such applications.

    

Essentially, Sven Hansen, editor of the German "c't" magazine, encouraged the development of cars' communication with their own ecosystems through applications, and the German expert believes that these applications provide advantages in other functions and simple updates over the air, and Hansen added: "It is possible to update the car system, fix errors, or integrate new functions, which helps to increase the level of safety and security."

Hansen believes that car company applications only provide a limited set of functions, such as locking the car, searching for the car's location, using the horn or changing direction signals to locate the car in large parking lots, and that checking the battery level is a very useful function in applications for electric cars.

    

"The driver knows whether the battery is fully charged through the application," the German expert continued, "and there may be a waiting fee in public parking lots if the fully charged electric car stops for a long period in the parking lot allocated for charging."

    

The way data is handled, according to Hansen, is crucial to the use of auto companies' services and ecosystems. "Jobs must be provided in a transparent manner, and the user must be aware of the type of data being gathered and communicated," Hansen explained. It is feasible to display information and disable services with good systems, and customers should be able to completely control the system.

       

"It becomes even more exciting when the application not only responds to the driver's commands, but also provides proactive suggestions, making it easier to The tasks of daily life, for example, by indicating the need to start moving early due to traffic congestion or by indicating the need to start moving early due to traffic congestion," said Jan Burgaard, the general manager of the strategic consulting firm Berylls.
