Nokia has software for in the car presented. The software runs on Nokia’s former cross-platform toolkit Qt. It is intended that manufacturers the software in their new models, but still no car brand has announced that it will do so.
Here Car is special software in the car and not derivative of other software from Nokia for smartphones. The software not only allows for navigatiefunctionaliteit, but also makes it possible to routes to and from familiar places to set up to check for traffic. The service provides, if necessary, a redirection. Some functionality requires an internet connection, but many works also offline. The internet connection works over standard mobile networks.
The software can by manufacturers to be embedded in cars, but it is unclear whether that will happen: Nokia says that later on more information to give. Consumers can have the software is not available for download. The car manufacturer can the software using an sdk to adapt to the needs of partners.
With the software comes a “Lord Companion” app, an application for Windows Phone and Android that routes to the software can be pushed and the car can be kept under things like temperature in the car and how full the tank is can be remotely read.
Here Car is made in Qt, the toolkit that Nokia a few years, but that has since been sold. Therefore, it is not dependent on a particular underlying operating system. A demo model of Nokia runs on a Linux kernel, but also embedded variations of Windows, for example, can be used.
