Linus Tech tips coverage of ctia 2014 is brought to you by

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:10.880
AT&T all right guys welcome to the AT&T Booth where we're specifically checking

00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:15.000
out AT&T Drive AT&T Drive is delivering connectivity to different cars around

00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:20.640
the world including stuff like the Tesla Model S GM terrain Volvo XC60 and Audi

00:00:18.520 --> 00:00:26.480
A3 some of these cars are either powered by 3G or LTE and that's mostly what AT&T

00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:29.800
is delivering to these devices AT&T has specifically said to me at the show

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:34.000
floor today that they're they're trying to make get a car purchasing decision or

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:38.760
a car manufacturer purchasing decision not a carrier decision when buying a car

00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:43.000
which is quite admirable but if you do want more AT&T drive connected apps the

00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.719
car manufacturers are able to take advantage of some of those hopefully in

00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:50.480
the future to talk about the different apps that they're hopefully going to be able to partner with I have a

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:54.039
conversation with AT&T's senior vice president of emerging devices division

00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:58.199
Chris Penrose so what kind of apps and services are you guys partnering with to bring to these vehicles we're really

00:00:56.879 --> 00:01:02.719
excited on Friday we made a big announcement of six major app partners

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:06.119
that have come to develop on AT&T's Drive platform and really covering a

00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:10.520
full range of services that people are going to want to use in their car so

00:01:07.759 --> 00:01:14.840
first think about uh INF infotainment and media type of applications we've got

00:01:12.520 --> 00:01:18.320
iHeart Radio uh obviously being able to stream internet radio we've got Stitcher

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:22.640
being able to listen out to certain podcasts and then newsbeat a really

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:25.360
exciting one hour or one minute uh consumption of different news articles

00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:30.720
you wanted to be able to hear while you're driving so that's great uh also some location based Services uh are

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:34.600
really big in the car and Glimpse and being able to share your location is one

00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:37.680
of those great applications out there uh we also brought weather in the car and

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:42.920
weather is believe it or not a very important thing that people want to know

00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:44.399
uh and uh and finally um we also brought

00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:48.000
parking because parking is something that we all do and Parker is a great app

00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:51.320
that we've brought in the car as well so ACU weather does the weather Parker does

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:54.240
the parking app and we're very excited to have these first six Partners on we

00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:57.280
have many many more they building out for the for the platform we'll be

00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:01.960
announcing in the coming months by utilizing these apps and general connectivity you can do quite a few

00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.600
different things especially when using them in sync but first off I want to

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:09.640
talk about twinning twinning is pretty interesting if you happen to say leave

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:13.520
home without your phone your car could essentially kind of turn into your phone

00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:16.519
if you have your profile properly set up and you leave home your your car can

00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:21.000
mimic all the things that your phone can already do it'll have its address books it can call out to people it can receive

00:02:19.519 --> 00:02:24.440
text messages you can do all those kind of things and it will do those things as

00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:27.239
your phone so if you called someone it's not going to come from some foreign

00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:31.319
number and it's not going to not show up in their call display as you it will

00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:35.319
still appear directly as you all the time so it should be quite seamless all

00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:39.080
