Referring to the Las Vegas International Consumer Electronics Show (hereinafter referred to as "CES"), most people think of small portable devices and other electronic products. But this year, the automobile may be the most eye-catching new electronic product on CES.

Automobile manufacturers are embracing smart phones and mobile computing technology, hoping to find a safe way to integrate digital life and driving experience.

The nine major automobile companies participating in this CES delivered a common message: they hope that the new car can be closer to the smart phone, and promote the development of the industry standard of connected cars and the on-board mobile application ecosystem.

Many car companies participating in CES said that they hope to open the in car system and encourage external developers to develop applications that can bring more functions for them, just as mobile applications bring convenience to smart phone users.

BMW showed a method of using the Bluetooth function of the Samsung Galaxy gear smart watch to control the I3 electric vehicle. However, voice control cannot be realized at present, and this function is still under development.

General Motors (40.49, 0.07, 0.17%) executives said that the company would still provide weather and music applications, which could be viewed directly through the dashboard, and car faults could be detected through the car health application. The company's executives said they planned to provide 4G high-speed broadband in the car.

Ford announced that it will introduce intelligent systems into cars and trucks, so as to cooperate with smart phones, so that drivers can listen to music at any time and keep in touch with the outside world.

Many car companies have announced that they will introduce the open development concept of Android into their cars instead of Apple's (536.52, -6.94, -1.28%) IOS system. Google (1130.24, -10.99, -0.96%) also led the establishment of an organization called "open automobile alliance" in due course, including Google, general motors, Honda, Audi, Hyundai and chip manufacturer NVIDIA (15.75, -0.61, -3.73%). The focus of the alliance is to make it easy for car companies to provide cutting-edge technology to drivers.

The open automobile alliance will also work with the national highway traffic safety administration to ensure that users can safely use the relevant systems in their vehicles. Its main goal is to "seamlessly integrate the best features of Android into the car in a safe way."

Rupert Stadler of Audi announced late Monday that the company plans to integrate 4G high-speed broadband in the car.

Lexus and Audi said their future goal is to develop driverless cars. Although these products have not been launched yet, Audi will display prototype products on ces to prove how this car can automatically put down passengers and then automatically find parking spaces.
