4 Tech Features To Look For In Your Next Vehicle
Technology features are not limited to your smart phone, computer, or even your television. There are plenty of tech features to be on the lookout for when you purchase a new vehicle as well. When you start searching for your next vehicle, look for features that will allow you to connect together the technology in your life with your vehicle.
Bluetooth Connectivity
When Bluetooth connectivity first came out over a decade ago, it was a strange and mysterious feature. What is Bluetooth? How does it work? These days, Bluetooth connectivity is not limited to luxury cars. It has become almost a compulsory feature in vehicles, and for a good reason too.
As more and more states band using handheld devices from phones to GPS units when you are driving and operating your vehicle, Bluetooth connectivity becomes even more important. Bluetooth connectivity allows you to sync your mobile phone with your vehicle so that you can make and receive calls, text messages, and even notifications without having to actually touch your phone.
Voice Control
Voice control can be seen as integrated with Bluetooth connectivity. With voice control, you can answer your phone and even text messages with voice commands. Voice control can also be used to do things such as control the temperature on your vehicle or change the music that you are listening to. Voice control pairs well with Bluetooth connectivity and increase the potential for how you can use your Bluetooth connection.
Wi-Fi Connectivity
If you frequently drive your car and go on road trips, it can be helpful to be able to connect to the internet from your vehicle itself. More automakers are now included the ability to connect to Wi-Fi, as well as LTE 4G connections, while in your vehicle. Your vehicle is essentially turned into a hot spot.
This would allow passengers in your vehicle to stream videos and music and use the internet while you are driving. This would also allow you to use the internet when parked from your vehicle as well.
Wireless Charging
Some vehicles are even offering wireless charging, such as newer models of pre-owned Fords for sale. With wireless charging, you don't need a cable to charge your phone. Instead, you set your phone on a pad or spot in your vehicle and your phone is able to charge wirelessly. Currently, Android phones are the only type that offers wireless charging, but if other phones were to offer wireless charging, they would be able to take advantage of the capability.
Your car can connect you with the other technology in your life if it has the right tech features. Bluetooth connectivity, voice control, Wi-Fi connectivity, and wireless charging are a few of the new features in vehicles that bring your vehicle and your outside technology closer together.
