Samsung Connect Auto will be launched by AT&T next month

Samsung Connect Auto is an affordable connected car solution that the company introduced earlier this year. It has developed an ecosystem of services and products that aim to provide a safe, eco-friendly and more fun driving experience to users. The device itself is a little dongle that plugs into the OBD-II port found under the steering wheel of every car manufactured since the '90s. The dongle will provide users with real-time alerts to improve their driving behavior, offer them tips on how to improve fuel efficiency and even offer a Wi-Fi connection, this entire connected car solution is secured by Samsung Knox.

Back when Samsung Connect Auto was unveiled the company said that it will initially be launched by AT&T in the United States. It requires a cellular connection to function and provide features such as real-time car tracking using GPS and LTE as well as automatic notifications to driver's contacts and accident concierge services following an accident. Latest news reports say that AT&T is going to launch Samsung Connect Auto in the United States next month and that it's going to offer this connected car solution on a monthly payment plan. Samsung is expected to start selling this device to corporate clients in the coming months.
