Implementierung eines Smart Access-Prototyps für ein Autoschloss auf der Basis von Google Assistant

Hintergrund

The mobile world is changing from Apps for everything to the new available assistant, like Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. Voice is the new UX!

Continental is evolving the car access from a classic key to a new system using the user’s smartphone and virtual key. Currently the development of an app for this smart access system is in progress.

Zielsetzung der Arbeit

Furthermore the thesis should include a documented demonstration app, which demonstrates the flow of information, but does not respect things like the virtual key management or an overall security concept.

What solutions are possible using the API?

does the car always require an Internet connection

Can we re-use a connection between smartphone and vehicle based on BLE
