This allows the car to share data with other devices, such as smartphones and traffic management systems, enhancing the driving experience. Features may include navigation assistance, real-time traffic updates, and remote diagnostics. These cars often utilize technologies like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular networks to connect with the outside world. This connectivity can improve safety through features like automatic emergency calls and enable over-the-air software updates, ensuring the vehicle remains up-to-date with the latest enhancements and security measures.
