Smart Shortcuts

Features

Smart Shortcuts

By observing and learning driver behaviors, patterns, and preferences, the system
anticipates driver actions and presents on-screen suggestions to help perform
desired actions quicker and with fewer steps.

•

The app will suggest actions based on what it learns you do often, and
occasionally make recommendations based on your learned preferences.

•

The system will take some time to learn. The more you interact with the system,
the more suggestion you will see, and the more accurate they will become.

•

Suggestions will automatically refresh periodically to provide updated content for
each profile.

•

You can also provide feedback on whether a suggestion is helpful by pressing and
holding on it. This can help the app grow smarter over time.

•

To change the notifications behavior for Smart Shortcuts:
