New Lamborghini Huracan Evo models made from mid-2022 onwards will benefit from What3Words integrated into their sat-nav system.
The navigation option will be available offline, and can also be enabled through Amazon Alexa’s Complete Control integration.
Lamborghini says this collaboration produces the ‘best user experience’ for drivers of the Huracan Evo.
Global navigation, squared
Launched in 2013, What3Words works by dividing the globe into 57 trillion three-metre (10-foot) squares. Each square is then assigned a unique combination of three words, allowing non-traditional addresses to be located.
Using voice commands to enter a three-word phrase is said to be easier than reciting an entire address. What3Words also says it avoids the confusion from duplicate road names, and allows navigation to places without an address.
What3Words has already been adopted by Mercedes-Benz, Triumph, Lotus and Ford. Numerous emergency services have also used it to help locate those in need of assistance.
However, some have criticised the risk of similar words being found close together, along with local accents and spelling errors causing confusion.
Progress through technology
Lamborghini’s integration of Amazon Alexa into the Huracan Evo allows drivers to play music, control smart devices at home, and get updates on the status of their car with voice commands.
Adding What3Words is seen as the next step in ensuring Lamborghini offers the latest technology.
Luca Giardino, head of connectivity at Lamborghini, said: “The future of mobility demands the most advanced technology, and that is why today Lamborghini is announcing the roll-out of What3words. Our drivers can experience the most seamless way to navigate by voice.”
