Microsoft is set to push its digital assistant Cortana into more devices, such as the Amazon Echo-like speaker system and customer-facing sales systems applications. Perhaps not unsurprisingly, your next car could even be Cortana-enabled.
Microsoft has signed deals with BMW and Nissan to add Cortana into new vehicles, in an attempt to make driving a more interactive experience.
Cortana has, arguably, been one of the more successful features of Windows 10, with the voice-activated assistant offering a number of services to users including calendar reminders, weather information, and mapping and travel details – “Cartana” will certainly be appealing to car manufacturers.
