You can now control your Volvo by voice with a Microsoft Band 2
- 8 years ago
Car companies allowing owners to remotely interact with their cars by way of a smartphone app is nothing new.
Allowing drivers to talk to their cars and control them by voice command, like in the now-infamous 1980s TV show Knight Rider, is.
Amazingly, that's exactly what Volvo has done.
Volvo announced Tuesday morning at CES that Volvo owners will now be able to control their cars by voice through the Microsoft Band 2.
With simple voice commands, owners can set the navigation, turn on the heater, lock the doors, or sound the horn.
Only Volvos enabled with Volvo on Call will be able to be controlled by voice — and not until Spring of 2016.
That means the brand-new ones, like the XC90 and the forthcoming S90.
