Owners of windows phone devices and Volvo cars will soon be
able to control aspects of the car via Cortana. The car maker announced plans
to update its windows phone app, Volvo on call, in late June to include voice
control support via Microsoft’s DIGITAL ASSISTANT.
Details about what exactly Volvo owners will be able to
control via Cortana have yet to be revealed. The company did say that the app
update will include “enhanced ‘send-to-car’ capabilities purposes”. Volvo also
plans to update their apps for Android and IOS that will allow owners to
control aspects of their car via android wear smartwatches and apple watch.
Volvo on call is currently available in 21 markets and is a standard
for Volvo car buyers in Brazil, the US and Canada. The company says it
currently has around 230,000 active subscribers for Volvo on call worldwide.
The windows phone version off the app already allows users to locate their
Volvo car on a map, along with remote locking of their vehicle and getting help
from roadside assistance, among other things.
