MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Samsung is teaming up with Hyundai to add Samsung’s SmartThings smart home platform to Hyundai and Kia’s connected car services, according to a blog post from Samsung and a press release from Hyundai.
As part of the collaboration, the two companies are going to work on “home-to-car” and “car-to-home” services and “as an integrated home energy management service,” Samsung says.
In practice, that means at home you’ll be able to do things like use SmartThings to control your car’s air conditioning or windows, and when you’re in your car, you’ll be able to control your TV or your home’s air conditioning.
But it seems like this work is still in very early stages, so it might be a long time before you’ll be living the full Samsung and Hyundai life.
It’s unclear exactly which Hyundai / Kia cars will support SmartThings right now (though one of Samsung’s images prominently features an Ioniq, so that seems like a safe bet).
However, Hyundai says it and Kia will “develop stable service-providing infotainment systems” and add the features via OTA updates and USB-based updates to existing vehicles (though doesn’t specify which ones).
