Google recently unveiled a set of upcoming updates to the Android Auto app to facilitate drivers’ interaction with their smartphones while driving. The Android Auto app allows Android phone users to easily access various applications and features while driving.
The artificial intelligence technology in Android Auto relies on summarizing long messages and busy conversations. The system identifies key information in messages such as restaurant names, food types, and meeting times to enhance the driver’s experience without the need to listen to a voice assistant reading the texts in full.
In case of group chats, Android Auto system provides a brief summary of the conversation, along with relevant responses and actions, enabling interaction without the need to touch the phone.
These suggestions appear as notifications containing directions for navigation and estimated time of arrival, and the artificial intelligence can automatically change the destination if chat participants modify their plans.
Google aims to simplify drivers’ experience and reduce distractions while driving through these updates. Artificial intelligence relies on key points to save time for the driver and reduce distractions when understanding group messages.
Additionally, the system can automatically reroute with a single click, making interaction with the information and entertainment system more efficient and contributing to updating the driver with less distraction while driving.
