NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

“New car owners can experience the luxury of a connected car, but there
are still tens of millions of older cars on the road,” said Bracken
Darrell, Logitech president and chief executive officer. “As we look for
ways to design products that are thoughtful solutions to human needs, we
realized there was an opportunity to turn any car into a connected car.
The result is the Logi ZeroTouch. The smart mount and app work together
to give you the best features of a connected car, while keeping your
eyes on the road. We believe ZeroTouch will play a crucial role in
turning the look down and text, into the look up and talk.”
To get your car connected, simply snap your phone to the magnetic air
vent or dashboard mount to automatically trigger the Android app, and
speak freely. You can use your voice to place calls, text back and
forth, stream music using Spotify®, initiate directions with navigation
apps, such as Google Maps™ mapping service or Waze, or easily share your
location with friends and family through Glympse® location service – all
without ever touching your phone.
Through natural language understanding, using the app feels like talking
casually to a person next to you in the car. A simple hand gesture
quickly wakes up the app to initiate a text or command, and to eliminate
errors, the app reads your text back before sending. The app
automatically informs you of incoming texts, and you decide if you’d
like to listen, respond or cancel without ever looking at or touching
your phone. Or, depending on the streaming music app, you can request
specific artists, songs, playlists, or genres, and give commands like
“pause” and “skip.”
