Microsoft products have previously been used in cars as infotainment systems. Ford, BMW, Fiat and Nissan cars already have built-in upgraded Windows. However, after the announcement of updates of operating systems for PCs and smartphones, the software giant decided to pay attention to the automotive industry.
The concept itself is reminiscent of Apple's CarPlay system, but the visual part of Microsoft’s system will resemble their proprietary tiled interface that we have seen in other products of the company.
The Windows system for cars will allow the user to synchronize his smartphone based on Windows Phone with the on-board computer of the car. In this case, the user gets access to calls, messages, e-mail, navigation programs. In addition, this version of Windows will allow you to control some functions of the car, according to theverge.com.
Connect the smartphone with the car will be using technology Mirrorlink. While this standard is not very common, however, in the future it is expected to be more widely implemented in automobiles and mobile devices. Over the implementation of Mirrorlink are already working Volkswagen, Honda, Toyota and Citroen.
Testing of the new system is carried out on real cars, but Microsoft reports that it is necessary to wait until full implementation, since the development is still at an early stage of development.
We also recently wrote that Microsoft will introduce Windows into small household appliances.
