BMW adds real-time fuel price and weather to in-car computer system
In-car access to real-time information is already available in some formats – traffic alerts are a prime example. But now real-time weather, fuel prices and stock indices will all be available to new BMW owners.
BMW’s ConnectedDrive continues to push the boundary of in-car data technology in the U.S., following on its introduction of online data connectivity last September. Expanding access to a broader information set than the Google Maps database offers many more opportunities for driver and passenger alike, however.
Weather, for example, provides the latest forecast for the next three days, including advisories and warnings for the area.
