Vehicle apps ex works: what they can do!

Cars are becoming more and more modern and powerful. This can be seen in the entire automotive industry. Driving assistance systems that can detect a potential accident head-on in milliseconds are just one example. And it's now de rigueur in the industry, as an automobile manufacturer own apps to develop and publish. A digital application that, as an extension of the manufacturer, is intended to simplify and expand the use of the car. The evening before, for example, the route for the next day is planned and by touch on the cell phone, this is in the navigation system in the car. You can start the next morning. That too Warm up at a certain time is possible via app without any problems. But are these functions really the spearhead of what automaker apps can do in combination with the associated vehicle?

More functions!

Of course, the functions just mentioned are not all that the car manufacturer's apps can do. Of course, the range of variants varies depending on the manufacturer. So it is without a doubt its beneficial Book a service appointment directly via the app to be able to But many do not use the feature (yet). A digital logbook on the other hand is a function that is available in most of the manufacturer's apps is not yet to be found.

Functions like the are much more helpful in everyday life Remote Parking Assist or Remote control parking. automaker like Tesla, BMW or Mercedes show how the app can be used to park and exit automatically and effortlessly. This is a blessing, especially in densely populated city traffic. The app makes parking easier. Numerous apps also offer many other functions. So there is also the possibility, the possible remaining range with the existing tank filling or to be able to read the engine load including acceleration through the app. Such functions are also becoming more and more common with other smaller manufacturers.

light & shadow

An app offers additional advantages, especially for electric vehicles, whether fully electric or hybrid. The possible remaining range of the battery and the so-called preconditioning of the vehicle is possible via app. Preconditioning means already the state of charge and the temperature before departure to regulate and to be able to adapt to one's own wishes. This allows additional flexibility. Also the transfer the desired travel route via mobile phone to the sat nav in the car is beneficial for hybrid cars and all-electric vehicles. However, there is no light without a shadow. Each manufacturer uses the data differently, or rather, releases it differently. Because it makes a difference whether the entries in the app are user-bound or vehicle-bound. If they are vehicle-bound, they remain in the car even when the driver / user changes. The only way to find out how the car manufacturer uses the entries in the app is to look at the terms and conditions of the respective app. Ideally, the customer receives full transparency as to how their inputs are used and the option of being able to easily deactivate certain functions in the app. One should pay attention to this!

Of course, that wasn't the end of it!
