What if you could have all of your important information connected throughout your home, vehicle, and mobile devices? What if you could wake up and see the mornings’ weather report displayed on an integrated mirror-screen? Or if you could conduct a business meeting on your drive to work, even syncing calendars with the other participants? Would you say, “can’t be done,” or would you be open to the innovations of the future? With BMW’s just-launched IoT concept, BMW Connected, the hypothetical questions posed before are soon to become less hypothetical and more indispensable.

Debuted yesterday at Microsoft Build 2016, BMW Connected aims to support you throughout your day. The system is capable of learning your routines and the usual driving time it takes for your to get places, so it has the ability to alert you if something happens—like a traffic jam—that would likely take you longer than expected. This is only an example of what the system is capable of and of what it aims to do in the future.
“This marks the inception of BMW’s vision of an intelligent, highly personalized world of digital services that integrate the vehicle seamlessly into the life of the consumer. Putting consumers and their personal needs at the heart of this vision, services will be available anytime, anywhere – in or outside of the vehicle. The BMW Group’s approach to mobility with this digital companion, powered by the Open Mobility Cloud is at the forefront of the automotive industry.” –BMW Group press release
