To bring this to life, Sonatus will present live demonstrations of two components of the Sonatus Vehicle Platform:

- Sonatus Automator: This newly launched product extends the capabilities of Collector by using automation recipes, or workflows, to activate functions in the vehicle to trigger features or perform tests and diagnostics. It can also take actions outside the vehicle such as invoking APIs, sending notifications, and integrating with services like home automation.
