LIVING MOBILE
Connected car
Test drive the future
 Some researchers believe that by 2016 more than half of new vehicles will have factory-installed, wireless
connectivity that works with cars’ electronic systems.1 Says Chris Penrose, senior vice president, emerging
devices, AT&T Mobility: “Our cars are becoming part of our connected world. AT&T has an exciting opportunity
to help keep drivers safe and make driving more enjoyable. We’re working with GM, Ford, Nissan, BMW and
other auto manufacturers to lead this trend, and we expect that in the coming years connected cars will
drive $1 billion or more in annual revenues for us.” Here’s a glimpse at what could be possible in the future:
Vehicle-to-vehicle communications
Your car will “talk” with nearby cars and
with the city’s traffic system, making auto
travel more efficient. It will even alert you
if you’re headed toward an accident and
help you navigate around it.
Vehicle-to-road communications Your
car will alert you to hazardous conditions,
construction, traffic congestion or detours —
and even suggest an alternate route.
Digital home/U-verse integration Your
car’s display screens will give you access
to the Internet, apps and even your home
security and automation and U-verse TV
services, enabling you to do everything
from checking your home security
cameras to programming your DVR.
In-vehicle item monitoring You walk out
of your house but forget your smartphone.
No worries. Your car will alert you before
you make it down the driveway.
Traveling office Running late for a
videoconference? Just pull over and
join the meeting right from your car’s
interactive onboard display.
Rear-seat infotainment Wireless
connectivity will make “Are we there yet?”
a thing of the past, giving your kids access
to music, games, videos and more.
Service alerts Burned-out tail light?
Your car will alert you, locate and call the
nearest auto parts store … even check
to see if the bulb is in stock.
