While it’s doubtful that Microsoft plans to slap a Kinect controller onto your dashboard, automakers like BMW and Mercedes-Benz are actively working on gesture-based controls for their vehicles. And considering the crew from Redmond already has the technology and a range of automaker partners, it’s not surprising that Microsoft wants to be a serious, embedded player in the ultimate mobile device. This isn’t Microsoft’s first foray into the automotive space. The software company’s Windows Embedded architecture has been employed by an extensive list of automakers, including Honda, Nissan, Aston Martin and BMW. More recently, Microsoft has partnered with Ford to launch its Sync system, Kia’s UVO infotainment setup and Fiat’s Blue&Me in-car entertainment and navigation services. | ||
