Hyundai Motor America and Smartcar, a Mountain View based company working to drive innovations in connected car technology, today demonstrated a proof of concept connecting businesses to Hyundai vehicles with Blue Link. This connection will allow mobile car washing, grocery delivery, and on-demand fuel delivery companies to securely access Hyundai vehicle functions, such as the vehicle’s location, remote locking/unlocking and data such as mileage. Hyundai and Smartcar will start a pilot program called Blue Link All-Access with California businesses in the first half of 2018.

The secure Smartcar/Blue Link infrastructure would allow companies like Washos, an on-demand carwash service, the ability to locate an owner’s Hyundai and access it without keys or the owner being present so a detailer could quickly clean the car, inside and out. A Hyundai owner could also have Romaine lettuce, wheat bread and eggs delivered directly to their Santa Fe using a grocery delivery service’s mobile app without ever having to leave the office. A car sharing company could also take advantage of this partnership to allow remote access and access authorization to vehicles. The user must link their Blue Link account with their service provider account to grant permission and allow access to the vehicle.
