Connect Auto will be available internationally, but it may take a while to reach your corner of the globe. It'll first be available in the US, where an AT&T-based model will launch in the second quarter of the year. It's too soon to say how well Samsung will fare. There's no shortage of connected car add-ons, and simply having a familiar name won't guarantee success. However, the company has lofty ambitions. It's trying to create a whole internet-savvy car ecosystem, and it has the help of big partners like AT&T, China Unicom, Here and Orange -- Samsung could 'win' simply by becoming the de facto choice for car technology upgrades.
