Samsung has been continuously building smart home products and is clearly trying to ensure that consumers aren’t removed from the convenience of the ecosystem. Thus, many speculate that the company is gearing toward building its very own smart car.

 

Commenting on the issue, Sunggy Koo, Vice President of smart appliances and home IoT for Samsung, said: "It's an obvious direction and I think it will happen," 

 

"The car is a extended space from the home, even though it's on the road. But definitely yes, the car is another good place to do extend the seamless experience into.

 

"We spend a lot of time in the car I don't know about you guys but I spend a lot time and I do a lot of things in the car. These cars are now transforming themselves.

 

Therefore the concept of the connected car is just getting started.”

 

"There is huge potential for innovation in the next couple of years, which will include interactions with devices at home and of course thing," he says while pointing to his Samsung branded phone.

 

Although clearly not yet ready to commit to the idea, Samsung has already showed off what a Samsung connected car might look like at CES earlier this year.
