Auto giant Chrysler has teamed up with network provider Sprint to offer embedded wireless services for its Uconnect system that will enable users to reap the benefits of hands-free communication, telematics, navigation and entertainment connectivity.
Chrysler's Uconnect system will become available in the manufacturer's 2013 Ram 1500 pickup truck and SRT Viper models, which are scheduled to be rolled out in fall.
The infotainment system will bring several new features, including voice-recognition capability that will enable drivers to create a text message or go into navigation destinations in just one step.
Users will be able to reach directly a 911 dispatcher with just a single hit on a button. Passengers will be able to connect their devices like smartphones or tablets to the vehicle's Wi-Fi.
Marios Zenios, head of Uconnect systems & services at Chrysler, said, "It is basically providing a hot spot on wheels." He further said that it was important to provide drivers and passengers with a reliable network on wheels.
Sprint said it could bring auto giant Chrysler new ideas for in-vehicle connectivity.
None of the two sides disclosed the financial terms of the deal.
