Land Rover has already confirmed that its 2017 model will have up to nine USB ports and enough secure storage space to hide four iPads, and it'll also use an innovative Intelligent Seat Technology system that allows users to control and fold down seats remotely using a smartphone app.
Why would you need to fold down seats remotely using a phone app?

On topic ... built in Sat Nav ... universally shocking and far superceded by Waxe / Google Maps / Apple Maps / etc... and free to update!
Not completely true.I prefer the BMW nav over any app including Waze. The traffic routing is better, the directions and clearer and more concise and the UI is brilliant.
On any other car I'll choose Waze though. Even though I can't stand the thought of supplying all my movements as valuable data to google.

On holiday in France this year, we were using cigar lighter plug adapters to charge everyone's devices as we moved around, as the car only has one or two USB sockets. Nine sounds like a good number.

I can see that being occasionally useful - standing in the queue in Ikea, realising how much crap you've bought, set the seats to fold to make it less fiddly when you corral the children+trolley to the car.
How lazy do people need to be though? they've already got a wireless key that will unlock the car when they come near it. a boot that can open/close itself remotely. Is it really that hard to stop your trolley near your car, then open a rear passenger door and pull a tab?QuartzDad said:

That doesn't cost anything though. Those signals are on CAN anyway and a little software will have it displayed on cluster. I've never understood the apps to unlock stuff or do this that and the other. Maybe we just haven't seen the killer feature yet.

At some point I guess there will be a phone app to tell you when the steering wheel has the wheels pointing straight ahead......
One of the things about gadgets is that people wan't them. Of course they don't NEED them but they love having them, telling and showing their friends etc, it all adds to the experience of ownership which with a lot of cars is not about transportation.
It's about making a statement.
My car has a convertible roof, you can lower it and all the windows from around 5 metres away with the remote.
Is it needed? No
Is it wanted? Yes
I like it and others do too.
