Every carmaker strives to be unique, and one of the easier ways to achieve that is to develop proprietary infotainment software. Today, the leading German sports car maker has introduced the Porsche Communication Management 6.0.
Icons, fonts and the clock face itself have all been updated, and the touch-sensitive area has been expanded for the driver to be able to pick a necessary function without taking eyes off the road for too long. Passengers can also use voice commands.
Another major feature of the new PCM 6.0 arrives in the form of new AI-powered navigation software that not only ensures that the highest-detail and the most accurate maps are used all the time, but also makes traffic-aware route corrections to help drive around jams.
Installing a mobile app called Porsche Connect unlocks access to a large variety of remote functions. Users can start the engine, open/close doors, and adjust cabin temperature via Internet.
The OS update is coming to the 911, Panamera and Cayenne families this summer.
