Or let us say I have the only key to it and my wife in Detroit needs to get in the car, I can unlock it for her from here. ”The feature harnesses the cars 4G LTE connectivity (连接性). Up to seven mobile devices can connect to it at any given time. “We want people to feel as if they are at home within the car, which a lot of people want to be in just for the driving experience, now they can be in there as well, the passengers can be in there as well for the connectivity experience. ”But what does that connectivity mean for your privacy? “It is important to have personal information to create that individualized, personalized experience, but certainly it will be a customers option. ”For certain consumers, it may not even be an issue. “There certainly is a factor where a younger consumer is much more comfortable giving up a lot more privacy and data than an older consumer is, and more likely than not, you are going to see a similar behavior to how they handle their personal privacy within the vehicle. ”Considering how capable our mobile devices have become, perhaps the only question left to answer is: “Whos driving? ”【文章大意】由于移动设备的广泛应用, 制造商推出了装配有车载移动设备的轿车, 进而可从事由智能手机发出指令的动作。1.
