Chinese technology company Honor on Sunday (February 25) showcased an experimental eye-tracking AI function that enables users to remotely open and move their car just by looking at their phone screen.The tool is already available in China and the company is working to integrate it commercially overseas as the company globally launched its new Magic 6 Pro smartphone&quot;The real use of this technology is really to enable another way for users to interact with the phone. So if you didn&#x27;t want to touch the screen for any reason, let&#x27;s say you&#x27;ve got dirty hands or whatever, then by looking at the screen you can then interact with the phone in a new way,&quot; automotive engineer James Brighton told Reuters.The eye-tracking AI function of the smartphone was used to control a car to start, drive, reverse and stop during a demonstration to the media on Sunday.&quot;So the phone itself its communicating with the vehicle controlled systems via a WIFI link, and then the onboard computers on the vehicle are doing the sequences of functions in order to execute the motions that we require,&quot; Brighton saidTech and telecom companies are releasing new products and features ahead of the annual Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona set to kick off Monday (February 26), hoping the buzz around generative AI will boost business prospects.Makers of smartphones hope the excitement around AI will help boost a sluggish market for smartphones, though many experts say generative AI may raise legal or ethical concerns.Honor on Sunday is also launching its new MagicBook Pro 16 laptop, with an AI feature allowing users to move applications like messaging apps between devices, for example from an Android smartphone to a Windows PC, with a single drag.
