Volvo brings 'Sensus' to human-car connectivity

Volvo Cars recently launched its Sensus connectivity system in China, becoming the latest in a string of carmakers offering local customers access to the mobile Internet and related services.

The Swedish carmaker, now owned by China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, first installed the latest system on its 2015 S60L model that hit the Chinese market in June, followed by the XC60, V60, S60 R-design and V40 in July.

The Sensus has diverse functions including navigation, entertainment apps, voice control, remote control via smartphones and call center services.
