MG has recently unveiled the MG Astor, the price announcement of which is slated to take place in September 2021. And ever since the OEM has teased the vehicle, all eyes are on the tech onboard the Astor which according to us is simply mind-blowing. And for those unaware of Astor’s tech capabilities here’s everything you need to know about it.
MG Astor: Redefining Smart Connectivity
Each and everything about the upcoming Astor is absolutely amazing. But the USP of the SUV is the brand’s brand new Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistant, which is slated to make its debut alongside the Astor SUV. Developed by the American tech giant ‘Star Design’, the Astor’s AI will take the centre place onboard the upcoming Astor, as an interactive robot much like J.A.R.V.I.S (We Hope).
Powered by ‘i-Smart Hub’, the AI assistant of the Astor will be capable enough to depict and mimic human-like voices as well as emotions and will be smart enough to share detailed information on complex topics via Wikipedia. It has been designed to not only engage with passengers but also be a great listener onboard. The AI Robot will be a platform for CAAP based services.
