ConnectedDrive, BMW’s safety and assistance telematics service, is expected to be supplied on 30,000 new BMW cars in the UK in 2008. ConnectedDrive offers drivers a dedicated website and a unique combination of facilities, emergency and assistance as well as driver convenience services, with new features such as Google Send-to-Car and RSS internet information feeds directly into the car.
The Google Send-to-Car feature marks a partnership with Google and offers BMW drivers an innovative new proposition. The time-consuming destination selection process of navigation systems has been virtually eliminated. The driver can now select one or more destinations through Google maps from the comfort of their work or home office. These are then sent directly from their PC to the car through the ConnectedDrive web portal. Once in the car, the driver simply accepts the destination, saving time and ensuring that their full focus is on driving.
