http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/07/sprint-velocity.jpgMany connected cars only take limited control through the internet – they can receive directions and unlock doors, but rarely much more. Sprint is widening that scope by launching Velocity Service Bus, an upgrade to its Velocity infotainment platform. The IBM-powered expansion adds that map delivery feature, but it will also sync cabin settings through the cloud: preferences like radio stations, seat positions and temperatures can transfer between vehicles. Naturally, this also makes it easy to customize the car’s interior through a smartphone or another remote device. While drivers will have to wait for automakers to implement Velocity Service Bus, it may cure quite a few headaches for multi-car homes once it arrives.
