The partnership aims to create a new in-car system by 2026. Hyundai, Kia, and their tech company 42dot will work on this project. They want to give drivers and passengers a better experience inside the vehicle.
Samsung's SmartThings technology will play a big role. It'll connect cars to the smartphone world, making trips more enjoyable for customers. One cool feature they're working on is finding your car anywhere in the world. It'll use Bluetooth and a network of Samsung Galaxy devices to track the vehicle's location.
Hyundai and Kia are getting ready for a future where cars run on software. They expect to offer lots of services inside the vehicle. They're also building an open system to make the car's entertainment center more connected.
SmartThings, Samsung's tech for connecting devices, will help link car use with smartphones. The new vehicle tracking service will be available through two apps. Hyundai and Kia customers can use their Connected Car Service app. Other people can use the Samsung SmartThings app to find Hyundai or Kia vehicles.
This service could help people who forget where they parked or need to find a stolen car.
