Chinese media and electronics company LeTV has fitted an Internet of the Vehicle (IOV) system to the new Aston Martin Rapide S.
LeTV has replaced the standard instrument panel with a 12.2-inch TFT screen of the Rapide S with a 13.3-inch HD touch screen infotainment system.
It also features the original human-machine interaction (HMI), which has also been updated by integrating LeTV’s speech recognition technology.
The Aston Martin Rapide S concept is also compatible with Letv’s other devices which include remote monitoring and services with the support of LeCloud through the vehicles Wi-Fi system.
Letv’s Autolink system was initially showcased in November 2015, which has specifically been developed for automotive applications.
However, the company states that its collaboration with Aston Martin on the Rapide S marks the capabilities of its global open auto eco-system.
The companies have already signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to carry out research projects that include the development of connected electric vehicles through to manufacturing consultation on future electric vehicles.
