Alibaba smart car accepts mobile payments
The SUV, dubbed Car OS RX5, runs Alibaba-backed mobile operating system YunOS. As well as taking voice commands, it will also allow drivers to pay for car parking and reserve spaces using the firm’s Alipay payment platform.
The car offers a personalised service that enables multiple drivers to have an Internet ID. This stores preferences for music, air conditioning, and even what the driver likes to eat.
The project aims to connect all vehicles to Alibaba’s IoT system. Cars could talk to each other to increase the convenience for the driver, whether at home or travelling. The IoT platform will be open to developers to connect their systems to it.
