Yes, you read it right. The giant software maker has unveiled a new operating systems that will be used in automotive segment. It is christened as Windows Embedded Automotive Operating System 7 and is based on the generic Windows 7 operating system.
Obviously, it has been heavily modified to serve the software on the cars and is expected to provide support to car software and car entertainment.It will also provide better communication abilities, speech commands, touch inputs and much better Bluetooth phone connectivity.
And if you are thinking of automotive companies that will actually embrace the operating system, then I can safely say that the list will expand from its present form. Kia Motors of South Korea will be one of the early adopters and Ford Motors and Nissan are likely to follow suit in the near future for its North American models.
Well, we look forward to Microsoft driving the technology for future cars.
