Volkswagen America announced Tuesday (http://media.vw.com/release/977/) that its Car-Net app is coming to the Apple Watch (http://www.engadget.com/products/apple/watch/) and will allow drivers to remotely interact with their cars using it. The Car-Net platform (https://carnet.vw.com/portal/en/owners/carnet/#diagnostics_maintenance) is VW's driver safety and fuel efficiency suite. It offers features like automatic crash emergency response notifications, remote vehicle access and "health updates" on wearing parts like brake pads -- all delivered through the Car-Net mobile app. Now, instead of fishing for their phones in pockets and purses, drivers of many 2014 and newer VW vehicles (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/14/volkswagen-gti-supersport-gt6/) worldwide will simply have to look at their wrists (http://www.engadget.com/2015/05/05/made-for-apple-watch-program/) to know how their cars are doing.
