[br][p]Hyundai India announced today a new internet-based connectivity solution for future models called [span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"]Blue Link[/span] at the Hyundai India Quality Centre in Faridabad. Set to debut in the upcoming [span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"]Hyundai Venue subcompact SUV[/span], Hyundai Blue Link allows a Hyundai car owner to operate some of the features of their connected Hyundai car using their smartphone.[p]Blue Link technology is Hyundai's connectivity solution that allows your smartphone to be connected to your car, giving remote access to some of the car's features. [p]Along with remote access, the Blue Link will provide [p]- safety, [p]- security,[p]- location-based services and [p]- alert services. [p]The Blue Link has features such as artificial intelligence and is equipped with vehicle relationship management. [br][p]
[br][p]In the area of convenience, Blue Link lets the owner operate parts of the car remotely using their smartphone. For example, the owner can lower or raise the car’s windows, lock or unlock the doors, and sound the horn for up to thirty seconds (to say, spot the car easily in a large car park). If they own a model with an automatic gearbox, they can even start the engine up remotely and turn the air conditioner on (to keep a warm cabin pre-cooled). Once inside the car, owners can use their voice to find nearby points of interest (like petrol stations and restaurants). They can also make use of Hyundai’s 24-hour customer care service to search for results. [br][p]
[p]In the area of safety, Blue Link lets the driver call for immediate assistance using two dedicated buttons on the car’s inside rear-view mirror: SOS and Roadside Assistance. These buttons can be used to call for medical assistance in case of an accident. They can also be used to contact the police or the nearest authorised service centre for breakdowns. Using the Blue Link app, owners will be able to locate and immobilise a stolen car. In addition, they can set speed, idle time, and location restrictions when lending the car to a valet or hired driver. [br][p]The blue link will allow the user to turn on or off some creature comforts such as climate control, lights and also avail 'find my car' feature.[p]
[p]To enable all these features in the Blue Link solution, Hyundai India says that it has tied up with various technology partners, including Vodafone Idea (for in-vehicle internet connectivity), AccuWeather (for weather data), SoundHound (for voice recognition), and Hyundai subsidiary Mobis (for developing the infotainment system). “Hyundai is actively training a team of over 615 Blue Link Wizards who would be specialists in their field and who in turn will train over 10,000 Sales Consultants across the wide network of Hyundai dealership and service touch points. These specialists will be able to handle any query related to the new technology,” writes Hyundai India in its press release.[p]We believe the Blue Link technology will be an optional extra available with only the top trims of the petrol and diesel variants - and the Hyundai Venue will be priced between Rs 9 and 13 lakh ex-showroom pan India.
