The International CES is where partnerships are formed. Some are odd, some are exciting and some make sense. Two partnerships announced this week in Las Vegas fit all three categories.

First, BMW was showing off their new i3 electric car. The car is a little larger than there Mini Coopers and features connected, wireless electric components that would wow an astronaut. We took a test drive at the Aria earlier in the week and fell in love with the comfort and technology.

Adding to the already connected car is a new partnership just announced between Samsung and BMW.

The new i3 is now compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Gear smart watch. The Galaxy Gear will connect to the vehicle via the same Bluetooth conduit used to connect your smartphone with the car.

Once connected Galaxy Gear users will be able to open and close windows, turn the AC on and off and monitor the cars vital statistics via the Galaxy Gear.

Galaxy Gear isn’t the only smart watch getting connected to a luxury car brand.

Mercedes Benz and Pebble announced a new partnership at CES as well.

The Pebble watch will be able to locate your Mercedes. It will also be able to tell the driver how much fuel is remaining. Pebble will also be able to alert the driver to an upcoming road hazard and its buttons can activate a smartphone’s voice control, search for a navigation destination and control audio.

University Herald also reports that Hyundai also announced a partnership with Google.

Beginning with their 2015 Hyundai Genesis, Google Glass users will be able to use their smart glasses to unlock doors, start the car and plan routes. In addition, the Hyundai Genesis will let Google Glass users know when their vehicles need maintenance and allow them to make appointments on the spot using Google Glass.
