Digital lifestyle: MINI Connected expands to include a new personal mobility assistant

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The launch of the new generation of #mini Connected takes the intelligent link-up of the vehicle, driver and outside world into a new dimension. The introduction of the upgraded technology sees #mini Connected start a new journey beyond the familiar in-car infotainment functions to include a personal mobility assistant which can also help with personal mobility planning outside the car as part of an integrated concept. Based on a flexible platform – the Open Mobility Cloud – #mini Connected weaves the car smoothly into the #mini driver’s digital life via the Apple iPhone, as well as Android-based smartphones in the future.

 At the heart of #mini Connected, which has been available as a free download from the Apple #app Store since 3 November 2016, is innovative journey management. This uses a seamless connection between a customer’s #mini and their iPhone to enable personal mobility planning. #mini Connected therefore acts as a personal mobility assistant that facilitates the everyday planning of appointments and sharing of destinations with the vehicle, and in so doing makes it even easier and more convenient to enjoy stress-free driving fun and on-time arrival.

The first version of #mini Connected, which has been launched as an #app alongside the presentation of the new #mini Countryman, sees the personal mobility assistant performing a host of different tasks. Accessing the user’s calendar and appointment reminders, searching for new or recent destinations and determining the ideal time to leave for a trip are all taken care of by #mini Connected’s journey management technology. As with BMW Connected, the personalised mobility assistant is underpinned by a flexible platform (the Open Mobility Cloud) which can incorporate not only the car itself but also the driver’s touchpoint devices, depending on chosen options and #mini generation - via Bluetooth or a USB connection.
