Brands Like BMW, Volvo, MINI, and Chevrolet Bet on Intelligent Systems That Talk, Listen, and Even Drive for You

Virtual Assistants are gaining ground in Brazilian cars, offering a new way of interaction between driver and vehicle. With voice commands, remote control via app, and integration with systems like Alexa and Google Assistant, technology transforms the act of driving into a connected and safer experience.

Connectivity, Convenience, and Real-Time Safety

CNN Brazil showed that brands like BMW, Volvo, MINI, Chevrolet, and even BYD are implementing automotive virtual assistants in their models to make the driver’s daily life easier. The commands allow you to adjust the air conditioning, open windows, play music, and even send messages, all by voice, without having to touch buttons or take your eyes off the road.

Among the highlights, the MINI Connected system offers complete control via the dashboard and the My MINI App, which allows you to lock doors or adjust the temperature from a distance. Volvo bets on Google Assistant as integrated navigation technology, while Chevrolet combines MyLink with Alexa and the OnStar service, which provides immediate assistance in case of an emergency or accident.

Each Automaker Has a Distinct Virtual Assistant Technology

Virtual assistants in cars help the driver do various things just with their voice, like changing the music or turning on the GPS. This makes the trip more practical, modern, and safe.

Jeep innovated with the Adventure Intelligence system, which recommends trails and off-road routes to adventurers. BYD, focusing on electric cars, allows users to view charging points and plan optimized routes through its integrated system.

Toyota, Hyundai, and other manufacturers also offer their own app technology, with features like vehicle location, headlight activation, and maintenance alerts. The trend is clear: the virtual assistant is becoming as essential as the steering wheel and brakes in more modern models.

Technology That Learns From the User and Evolves Over Time

One of the major advances of automotive virtual assistants is the ability to learn from the driver’s habits. AI-based systems can memorize preferences, such as favorite radio stations, frequently used routes, and air conditioning temperature. Over time, these technologies become more personalized, anticipating commands and needs with greater accuracy. According to experts interviewed by CNN Brazil, this personalization makes the driving experience smoother and more natural — and it can even prevent accidents by reducing driver distractions.

Technology That Learns From the User and Evolves Over Time

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Bothered by millions of bricks discarded every year in Norway, a company cuts old pieces into thin slices, secures them with a metal system, and transforms demolition into a new 1,800 m² facade.

Taiwan erects a 4 km maritime wall in the Port of Taipei, installs concrete coffers against waves up to 7 meters, and transforms dredged sediments into new land to expand one of the island’s most strategic ports.

Peter Andrews was reported by his neighbors, lost the farm to the bank, and saw his marriage fall apart, but the method that the government rejected for 30 years was recognized by the UN as one of the five agricultural models.

Transport entrepreneur warns that a truck can be profitable and ruin a family, shows how installments consume cash, turns the owner into a debt manager, and reveals why self-employed individuals only grow with margin, reserve, and cost control before financing another heavy vehicle.

While cigarette butts appear on sidewalks, beaches, and sewers, researchers tested the waste in clay bricks and calculated a 10% savings in burning with just 1% in the mixture.

He bought a Toyota for R$ 14,000 in 1990, did all the maintenance himself for 40 years, and the car has already driven over 1.2 million kilometers without stopping, but the odometer only shows 253,000 because there is no space for the digit “1”.

Three doors, concept look, and FIPE value of R$ 62,524: The 2013 Hyundai Veloster delivers a 1.6 engine with 140 hp, a 6-speed automatic transmission, and a design that still seems too strange to go unnoticed.
