UIEvolution connects the smartphone with the car

02 Apr 2009

With its new platform, UIEvolution enables vehicle owners to remotely communicate with their telematics-enabled vehicles via their mobile phones. The myCar application leverages its UIEngine middleware and Blender content management platform to connect rich mobile applications with the telematics capabilities in the car.

UIEvolution's new application provides a mobile portal experience that couples personalised owner services with access and control of the vehicle and connects localised guides to restaurants, events, weather and gas prices with remote management of vehicle features like door lock/unlock, long-range remote start and vehicle locator. The system also features a vehicle health monitoring system and enables the owner to view user manuals, schedule service appointments and review their service histories, all from the screens of their mobile devices.

According to UIEvolution's CEO, Chris Ruff, the company's myCar application enables vehicle owners and passengers to receive real-time updates and dynamic content for current and future services. He thinks, that auto makers are empowered to deliver robust content to their drivers, continually enhancing the customer's relationship with the vehicle, the dealer and the manufacturer in ways never before possible.
