Connected Car
In pretty much every car, the infotainment screen is more-or-less rectangular. Instead of being normal, Mini is asking everyone to think round in its next generation of cars, because quadrilateral screens are so 2011. On that screen sits the Android-based Mini Operating System 9, which is a big number, but it’s something worth walking through. No, not the pointy thing, but a tiny digital dog named Spike living in the infotainment system, helping you fetch…whatever you use voice commands for. Spotify can be connected as a native app, as can video streaming, video games, and maybe even Blockbuster Video if you ask nicely enough.
