"At CES 2019, Alibaba and BMW have announced using the Chinese giant's voice assistant, Tmall Genie, by BMW customers in China by the end of 2019. The move extends BMW’s Connected service, which is already integrated with other Tmall Genie-compatible devices. The new feature allows customers to use the BMW display screen, serving up text and images.
Integration with Alibaba's Tmall Genie in BMW vehicles in China opens up new possibilities in terms of intelligent connectivity between the vehicle and customer’s digital touchpoints. BMW Connected is currently used by 1.5 million customers. Alibaba claims to have sold over 5 million Tmall Genie units since its launch in 2017." – Vinay Piparsania
