Control your car using Google Glass with this new app from Hyundai

Google Glass owners buying a new Hyundai will soon be able to control basic functions of their car straight from their headset. Hyundai announced that some of its next-generation vehicles will be able to connect to Google Glass using an app that will be released alongside its Genesis sedan, its first car to sport the integration. Owners of both Glass and a 2015 Genesis will be able to use the headset to find their vehicle, automatically start it, send addresses to its navigation system, and lock and unlock its doors.

Hyundai just announced the newest thing for Google Glass owners: the 2015 Genesis sedan. It’s got 333 horsepower, seats five, and thanks to Blue Link cloud connectivity, you’ll be able to lock, unlock or start the car from your face computer. It seems like Hyundai may be the first automaker to bring Glass connectivity to market, promising the app will arrive upon the new car’s launch (Mercedes has been tinkering, but hasn’t nailed down a delivery date yet). In addition to the remote operations mentioned above, Hyundai says the Blue Link Glassware app will send push notifications when service is due, letting owners schedule service appointments in-app.
