One of the newer fields of study in the automotive industry is the theory of connected vehicles. Through specific design choices and software developments, car companies are looking to create connectivity programs that work across all their models. This would allow for a smoother and simpler user experience over multiple cars, not just one. To do this, Nissan has revealed new partnerships and the hiring of over 300 individuals to improve the current systems and integrate them in their newest models.
Just like with social media, cars can allow people to be more connected with each other. By creating user friendly applications such as voice recognition calling and user specific alerts, Nissan keeps people in touch with others even while driving. This means a safer driving experience, as smartphone integration allows access to information without having to look down every couple of seconds or fiddle with a device. Newer Nissan models already allow for the car to inform drivers when they receive a call, email or text so you never miss an important moment. Navigation is also a big focus, as connecting to the latest traffic updates and road closures means you always are on the fastest route.
The biggest change Nissan is trying to make is the idea of a standard technology and connectivity across different companies. This would mean each car’s infotainment or media console works in a similar manner, allowing for an easy transition between different vehicles. People who travel for work or vacation often need a rental car, and a standard design would mean you are able to operate it whether you are in a Ford or the all-new #NissanMaxima.
These innovative design principles are what keep Nissan’s cars at the pinnacle of technology and usability. Come test drive one of our award winning vehicles at Cardinale Nissan, or check us out on the web at www.cardinalenissan.com.
