Powering the Future of Transportation
In recent years, transportation has been buzzing with anticipation for the future. Electric vehicles, self-driving solutions, and smart technology are becoming increasingly common, transforming the driving experience. Adding to this excitement are the remarkable software features in connected vehicles, aimed at making passengers' journeys smoother. Some features are already making waves on the roads, while others are on the horizon. Automotive brands are delivering cutting-edge offerings that have us eagerly anticipating what's to come.
The Managing Director of Future Mobility at General Motors Middle East, Gary West, shares the features that redefine the way we use our vehicles, making our lives as drivers and passengers more convenient through connectivity.
1. It’s When Safety Meets Connectivity
In a region that prioritizes road safety through its legislation and first responder efforts, work is always underway to ensure that safety remains front and center of mind. It certainly helps to know that the manufacturers of connected vehicles are also prioritizing this focus. As early as today, drivers can rest assured that their vehicle has their back when it comes to cautious driving - be it connecting to emergency services or automatically detecting duress. Connected vehicles go the extra mile and can jump to rescue drivers when needed, in most cases through a simple push of a button, initiating conversation with first responders where necessary.

2. Unleashing Innovation for Total Comfort
The industry has come in leaps and bounds in terms of the comfort factor, and connected vehicles are already elevating this space today. With Remote Start features allowing cars to run ahead of the passenger arrival, drivers can now step into a cool vehicle from the get-go, a feature that offers immense value in this region, especially during the hotter months of the year.
3. Your Vehicle as the Proactive Partner
Drivers can cruise with even more comfort, knowing that their vehicle is keeping tabs on its own health and maintenance needs, so they don’t have to. Vehicle owners can quickly get used to extensive Vehicle Health Reports courtesy of their cars. This can be taken a step further as drivers can opt in for their vehicle to schedule check-ups with aftermarket service providers - all in a day’s work for a connected vehicle that ultimately avoids sky-high repair bills.
