- Google has just made major changes to Android Auto
- The introduction of Gemini allows easy conversational vocal prompts
- But media control adjustments have frustrated some
Google recently introduced a certain number of updates, including bringing its gemini assistant fueled in AI with smart watches, televisions and the vehicle environment via Android Auto updates.
Software update 14.4, which is available now in the beta test program, has made a number of subtle settings to its so-called “ Coolwalk screen ”, which essentially offers a number of applications in an interface of Android Auto-compatible vehicles and vehicles running the Android Automotive operating system.
The main problem lies in media reading controls, which were mixed just to annoy those who formed enough muscle memory to play, take a break and rewind without having to look at the display of infodity.
Auto Evolution indicated that the Play / Pause button is now aligned on the left of the screen on the vehicles with left drive, placing it closer to the driver but the switching with where the repay / previous button was to reside.
However, given that updates are currently only available in the Beta test program, the research giant still has a lot of time to listen to user comments and make other modifications if necessary.
Gemini jumps on the road on the road
To watch
Google pushes its assistant to a number of intelligent devices, including watches, headphones and smart glasses, allowing users to receive recommendations and answers to common questions using conversational vocal prompts.
The functionality is also to upgrade Google Assistant Current Vocal Commands which appear in Android Auto Infodiving Systems and these cars performing a native Android operating system.
This means that drivers and passengers can request specific locations along the route, such as service stations that are good for walking dogs or location of the quickest load terminals nearby.
When users connect their favorite messaging application, Google says that Gemini can summarize all the messages received and even go so far as to translate them into another language before sending – if you have a lot of bilingual friends.
Gemini seem ready to remove part of the clumsy application that mixes motorists, thanks to the possibility of now posing the AI assistant to summarize the titles of the news (with or without sport) and even to answer these difficult questions that children inevitably ask in a long journey.
Google says that Gemini will be available on Android Auto in the “months to come”, followed by these cars which run the Android operating system others.
