2014-01-09
hi I'm Wayne Cunningham here at CES 2014 in the BMW booth now one thing we're seeing here at the show a very new trend is the integration of wearable tech with cars so in my hand here i have a samsung galaxy gear this is running BMWs i remote app this works with the BMW i3 and the i ate all the electric cars that they're going to be coming out with it shows you things like how much charge you have in the car and you can also control the car you can do things like turn on the air conditioning ahead of time honk the horn and all that but now this samsung galaxy also works with the galaxy gear watch BMW is built an app this is sort of a prototype ran it right now but this app on this watch will do many of the same things you get on the phone so I can actually see the charge status of the car right now on the front of the watch and do some other things I can actually do some controls of the car if I slide to the side I can turn on the air conditioning I can honk the horn do a few other things unlock it stuff like that I can also if I go to the other side I can find my list of contacts and I can pull up a list of content or any of my contacts from the phone bring it up on the watch push it and send it as an address to the car so they'll go into the cars navigation system do that all from the watch there's also voice command on this watch as well so if I click the button on the side twice here I go into voice command mode I can say something like BMW say hello and that will make the car hawk its horn so maybe if I'm in a parking lot or something i can find my car this watch is still a prototype BMW will definitely be releasing this app for the phone with the i3 car when it comes out this year the watch not yet but maybe in the future I'm win Cunningham here at CES 2014 you
