Sun 08 January 2023:
Google, a major player in technology, has stated that it will be providing consumers with a “refreshed” Android Auto experience that will feature a split-screen user interface (UI).
According to the internet giant’s blog post published on Thursday, the new design updates and functionality enhancements will provide customers a “more personal, easy-to-use experience.”
The new design puts a strong emphasis on three key objectives for drivers: getting where they’re going, staying in touch with loved ones, and listening to music or podcasts.
‘Maps’ is now closer to the driver’s seat so that they can see where they are going at a glance.
Moreover, Google Assistant now provides smart suggestions to users including missed call reminders, arrival time sharing and instant access to music or podcasts.
“We’re introducing a seekable progress bar for music and podcasts — one of our top requested features– so you can skip ahead in a song or episode,” the company said.
“Last but not least, starting with the latest Pixel and Samsung phones, you can soon make calls using WhatsApp with Android Auto,” it added.
Previously, customers could only share their digital car keys with Pixel and iPhone users, but the company has now revealed that Samsung phones will soon support key sharing, and Xiaomi users will be able to do so later this year.
Google says the system can detect the screen’s orientation and reconfigure itself for portrait or landscape displays.
