LINE Application development using Toyota's car navigation system September 5 18:09

LINE, a free communication application, has developed an application that uses a smartphone as a car navigation system by utilizing the technology of Toyota's car navigation system. This means that you can indicate your destination by voice or send a message while driving.

This app combines the voice recognition technology used for LINE AI speakers with Toyota's car navigation system.

The feature is that it can be operated by voice. When you tell the place you want to go, it automatically sets the destination and gives you directions. In addition, it means that the LINE message is sent to the registered person while driving, and the app reads out the received message.

In addition, you can use the flat-rate music service provided by LINE, and you can also operate home appliances such as turning on the air conditioner at home in the car if linked with AI speakers at home. .

The app is free and will not only be used on smartphones, but will also be able to be used on the screens of car navigation systems installed in cars in the future.

In the automotive industry, as one of the next-generation technologies, various services that connect cars to the Internet are being developed, and collaboration between IT companies and automobile manufacturers is likely to increase further.
