Next Generation Blue Link System to launch with the all-new 2016 Elantra GT and Veloster.



Hyundai announced that their next gen Blue Link system will have a smartwatch connectivity component. With smartwatch sales taking off, some 2015 Hyundai owners will be able to connect and control basic functions of their cars using these wearable devices with the Hyundai Blue Link smartwatch app installed.



In the release, Hyundai said it will debut the Blue Link smartwatch app at Pepcom’s Digital Experience and the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this coming week.



Hyundai’s exhibit at CES will open Jan. 6-9.



Hyundai’s cloud-based Blue Link platform allows remote start and service information to be quickly accessed through smartwatches and smartphones. Namely the Blue Link smartwatch app allows Hyundai owners to remote start, lock and unlock doors as well as find their car in a crowded parking lot



The app is supposed to be easy to use as the owner/smartwatch wearer simply taps an icon or uses voice commands on their watch to execute remote functions. Pushing the microphone icon on the watch activates the voice function, where the driver can execute commands such as “Start my car,” “Lock my car” or “Find my car.”

Some of the numerous human car interactions available to Hyundai owners very soon.

Why? Because you can. I will stick with the smartphone but those that follow the very latest trends, it will bring science fiction to wrist reality shortly. Makes me want to watch some old Dick Tracy episodes on YouTube. ;)
