New Chinese App Makes Android Auto And Apple CarPlay Look Outdated

Flyme Auto also boasts features previously seen only on high-end luxury cars. The system can play relaxing sounds to calm you down during traffic and pairs this with soothing images. This can be extended to all the screens in the car, creating a harmonious experience for all passengers.

The graphics and visual capabilities are also worth mentioning. The live desktop considers the weather and time of day and adjusts itself to suit the outside conditions. Crisp graphics and cutting-edge animations provide an immersive experience and make Flyme Auto feel more like an OEM interface than an app.

Even though there are various safety concerns, it seems automakers are determined to make gaming a part of modern vehicles. Tesla已经提供了游戏的汽车, and BMW isworking on something similar too. Not to be left out, Meizu has paid attention to games too.

If you're stuck waiting for somebody - or the car is charging its batteries - Flyme Auto can keep you entertained. The system can function as a gaming console, with passengers using their smartphones as a controller. Instead of listening through your small phone speaker, the sound effects are piped through the vehicle's sound system.

Another function that will come under scrutiny is the video call feature. Meizu has said Flyme Auto can answer video calls and even stream your camera feed should you have to join an impromptu remote work meeting. Hopefully, this won't work while the car is in motion.

Is there any chance this technology will make its way to US-spec cars? Yes, and it's bigger than you'd think. Meizu was purchased by Geely, a Chinese automotive company that owns Volvo, Polestar, and Lotus, among other brands.

Perhaps it won't happen immediately, but there's every chance the newVolvo EX90, for example, will eventually introduce this feature. For now, various Volvo and Polestar products use Google built-in software. Google built-in allows users to access things like Google Assistant, Maps, and Play. Naturally, Apple CarPlay also forms part of the package.

虽然我们不能确定,但它是安全的假设吉利purchased the electronics company to create its own bespoke infotainment app. That will give tech-loving customers more reasons to buy one of its products. It will be interesting to see when this tech makes its way to road cars and whether it will be available in the United States.

All we know is that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will get the necessary updates to remain appealing alongside this new challenger.
