AT&T announced six, voice-enabled applications for its connected car platform, AT&T Drive.
These include:
- AccuWeather for AT&T Drive, which provides localized current conditions, hourly, and five-day forecasts.
- Glympse, a location sharing app that allows connected car drivers to share their dynamic location in real-time with anyone, eliminating the need for phone calls or text messages to let someone know where they are, or when they will arrive.
- iHeartRadio, a digital radio service that offers thousands of live radio stations from across the country and the ability to create custom stations based on an artist or song.
- Newsbeat, a mobile news app developed by Tribune Digital Ventures that provides personalized audio streams of the day’s top articles from leading newspapers and websites.
- Stitcher, radio shows and podcasts on demand.
- Parker by Streetline, a parking guidance application that displays data in real-time from in-ground sensors, from camera-sensing technology, and from gate counters in garages and lots, as well as static data like policy hours, pricing, and location.
“Each of these apps provides an enhanced in-car experience for users while also keeping driver safety top of mind,” said Chris Penrose, senior vice president, Emerging Devices. “AT&T Drive’s app selection was developed so that drivers could make more informed decisions while they are driving to help them point A to point B safely, but do so as efficiently and comfortably as possible.”
