“As hybrid work continues to evolve, the modern work environment is no longer confined to a single space or device. People increasingly demand flexible, frictionless ways to get work done on their own terms,” Cisco<\/a> said in a statement.
The Webex application will be available through the in-vehicle Audi Application Store<\/a>. The Application Store is developed by CARIAD<\/a> and HARMAN<\/a> and designed for select Audi<\/a> vehicles with additional Volkswagen Group<\/a> brands to follow at a later time.
“We’re on a mission to transform the connected car into another extension of the hybrid workplace,” said Jeetu Patel, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Security & Collaboration, Cisco. “Our work with leading manufacturers like Audi will empower customers with a safe and seamless way to stay connected and be productive regardless of where or how you’re working.”
Customers of the Webex for Audi application will benefit from a simple setup without requiring a phone for the process. The application also comes with safety features such as an audio-only mode when the vehicle is on the move, and when parked, drivers can take advantage of Webex’s full immersive collaboration experience and are able to view meeting participants, shared content and closed captioning. Further, the application will feature artificial intelligence (AI) enhancements for noise removal and voice optimisation.
As of July 2023, the Application Store will be available in new Audi production models of the Audi A4, A5, Q5, A6, A7, A8, Q8 e-tron, and e-tron GT in Europe, USA, Canada, Mexico, and overseas markets, said Cisco.
“We are excited to offer Volkswagen Group’s customers Webex meeting capabilities that make hybrid work more convenient and adaptable. With our new Group Application Store we will offer customers a vast variety of essential and popular apps, seamlessly connecting their car with their digital life,” said Riclef Schmidt-Clausen, Senior Vice President, Domain Intelligent Cockpit & Body, CARIAD.
“We are delighted to partner with like-minded leaders at the forefront of technology and automotive to bring Webex capabilities into the car for hybrid and remote workers. The HARMAN Ignite Store, a white label solution for Volkswagen Group Application Store<\/a>, makes it easy for developers to adapt their content and services for automotive,” said Albert Jordan, VP and GM of HARMAN’s Automotive Applications Business Unit.
