The newfound craze over automation is far from over, and as far as artificial intelligence, smartphone apps, and high-tech safety features are concerned, things are literally now “just getting revved up”. Owners of certain Kias can now control a number of vehicle functions... such as start and stop the engine, and heat or cool their cars, using voice commands from the comfort of their own home. It's called UVO Skill, and it allows vehicle owner to do things like lock doors, sound the horn, flash the lights, and start or stop charging their plug-in or electric vehicle whenever they choose.
Amazon devices are sold separately, and require a durable and working WI-FI internet connection for use. In the home, users have enjoyed Alexa for the ability to have her start video games, check the bank account balance, and listen to news headlines. Family and friends that are in the kitchen or living room have been righteously fascinated by the “intelligence” of the device, and it has really taken the notion of robotic sense to a heightened level for the average consumer. Even though some think that this very modern touch takes away from the driving experience, most consumers are very excited about it: when a driver is able to get the car ready and speed up their task before they are even in the car, many will think that the future is truly here.
As the future comes closer, many drivers will realize that technology changing things will never cease. There are now very qualified and expert members of engineering staffs worldwide attempting to make every single model faster, better, and more accessible. Everyone here at Jim Butler believes that this will not take away the amazing bond you feel between a well-built Kia and the open road! There is still nothing as enticing as feeling every groove in your front tires take on the conditions offered up to them, and accelerating off the line to conquer the next objective on your daily list.
As the realities that science fiction writers like Isaac Asimov and many others predicted seem to be more prophetic than ever before, some are becoming disillusioned with the auto industry in general. We guarantee here at Jim Butler Kia of St Louis that even though advancements are showing themselves in the industry at a breakneck pace, that features such as the UVO Skill will be appreciated by many: when push comes to shove, having a feature available at your fingertips that makes life easier for you will always receive the warmest of welcomes!
