Two of biggest Japanese companies are working together to bring you an amazing application which will enable you to control your home from your car. Yes! That’s right, Toyota and Panasonic are developing an entirely new cloud-based technology which will bring ease in your life as you will not have to worry about returning back and check if you have left any appliances switched on when you left in haste.
This month at Smart Community Japan 2014 exhibition in Tokyo, Toyota presented this cloud-based system which controls and monitors home appliances. This system is due to be launched in Japanese market later this year, but the launch in U.S. market has not been confirmed yet.
If you are wondering how this application is going to work, it’s brilliantly simple. You will connect from your car to Toyota’s existing cloud-based Smart Centre, which will then link to Panasonic’s cloud system. If you don’t know, Panasonic is the tech giant in home appliances like video equipments, televisions and air-conditioners connected to its cloud system for monitoring and controlling.
This application will be a mile stone in the future as if you forget to turn off any of your home appliances when you left, there is no need to come back and turn it off, just simply connect to your car’s GPS and remotely shut it off.
One year ago, both of these giants joined hands to build a new technology and decided to put in all of their individual strengths in developing smarter mobility by using cloud based services to link cars, homes, people or even the communities with each other. we hope that the reliability of new system should be same as Toyota engines in the world.
This technology sounds so good, but also poses some privacy or security issues that really need to be addressed.
