These services can already be delivered by siloed apps carried on a smartphone carried in the car, but diagnostic information straight from the car could add another dimension. Cloud-based monitoring of the OBD port's diagnostic messages will allow Samsung to go beyond the car's "check engine" warning light, providing a "virtual mechanic" service with recommended maintenance and repair options from a specialized network of partners.

The dongle, which is primarily focused on enterprises, will run on Tizen, Samsung's home-grown operating system. Keeping the data safe on its way up to and back down from the cloud is Samsung KNOX, a "defense-grade mobile security platform," which we've seen in use on Samsung's Galaxy-series of mobile phones. Its 4G LTE connection can also serve as Wi-Fi hotspot for the mobile devices that passengers are travelling with, so you can drive and surf and let your peeps enjoy the journey.

Samsung is currently working with AT&T in the United States to launch the service in the second quarter of 2016. Some of the companies that Samsung has lured into thus far include China Unicom, Cisco, Ericsson, Europcar, Here, IBM, Jasper, Openbay, Orange, and Willis Towers Watson. The firm has been carrying out their vision of bringing IoT technology to everyday lives through collaborations with valuable partners and experts across many industries.

At Mobile World Congress Samsung also demonstrated a concept parking prepayment service in partnership with enterprise software developer SAP and Spanish automobile manufacturer Seat. The Samsung Connect Auto will go on sale before the end of June in the U.S., with AT&T as its first wireless service provider. The company currently hasn't disclosed the price of the Samsung Connect Auto.
