Sweden-based car manufacturer Volvo started a new partnership with Microsoft. The company announced at the CES 2016 that new Volvo cars can be controlled by voice through Microsoft’s smart wristband which is called Microsoft Band 2.

Microsoft Band 2 will allow you to control your Volvo vehicle by using the application called  “Volvo on Call”. This feature allows Volvo owners to talk to their cars and remotely control it. The car owner can say something to the  Microsoft Band 2 to control the vehicle, such as saying ‘Set navigation’, ‘Turn on the air conditioning’, Lock doors’, ‘Turn on the headlights’ or ‘Horn’.

The Vice President of Volvo car group Thomas M. Müller who is responsible for electric and electronic technologies commented on this issue and said ‘the voice control is just the beginning, we will add new features to our cars’ digital assistant functionality. Volvo Press referred to KITT in the series of Knight Rider, and it was announced in the Volvo press release that; Volvo and Microsoft are bringing back the voice control feature in a humorous way.

For now, you are only able to watch the promotional video of this feature.   However, voice control will be used if you have the latest models of Volvo in the spring of 2016.
