Hyundai Blue Link Anti-Theft

Hyundai announced a their "telematics service" called Blue
Link. It offers emergency assistance, vehicle location sharing to
select family and friends, and even a Foursquare-type location
service through Facebook. The system can share the car's location
on an owner's Facebook page.Hyundai did not provide complete
operational details, though Blue Link appears to include a
smartphone app, in-car hardware component, call center and
integration with the car's navigation system. Blue Link can also
detect airbag deployment and send the car's location to 911
operators. A driver can also contact the call center by pressing a
SOS button. A separate button summons roadside assistance. The
smartphone app lets owners remotely unlock or lock the doors, flash
the lights, and start the car. Blue Link can set speed alerts,
along with a "slow down" if the vehicle is stolen, or immobilize
the engine all together.Hyundai outlines a number of travel
services, such as traffic conditions, turn-by-turn navigation,
restaurant ratings, and gas prices. For gas prices, Hyundai says
the results of a search are read out by an automated voice system,
and a particular gas station address can be sent to the navigation
system.Blue Link will also allow drivers can go through voice
command menus at a call center to find out useful information. Blue
Link launches in 2011 on the Sonata, followed by the all-new
Velostar, and through the entire line-up by 2014. Test drive 2011's
Sonata today at World Hyundai of Matteson.
