Samsung announced the Samsung Connect Car Dongle at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, entering the market for Internet-connected cars. Tizen OS is used by the tiny plastic box known as Samsung Connect Auto. It must be connected to the OBD II port on the vehicle. Typically, the port is mounted beneath the driver’s steering wheel.
The device tracks the car’s driving distance and time after it is attached. It will be measured and computed how much fuel costs. The device uses 4G LTE communication technology, and the Internet will be used to transmit the data obtained to cloud servers.
Android and iOS devices can view the “Find My Vehicle” feature, which uses this data to look for lost automobiles, the GPS App that determines location, and other security measures. The Internet can be made available to passengers’ mobile devices via 4G LTE connectivity and vehicle data.
With AT&T’s assistance, Samsung will introduce Connect Auto in the US during the second quarter of this year. In the third quarter of this year, it will go on sale in other nations.
