Google recently announced some changes along with the launch of the Samsung S24 series. They are updating their Android Auto service to make it more convenient and less distracting for users when they use their smartphone while driving.
Android Auto is like Google’s version of Apple CarPlay. It allows people with Android smartphone to access specific apps and feature that could be risky or against the law to use while driving.
The upcoming update will use artificial intelligence AI to summarize lengthy messages or busy group chats. This means that instead of a robotic voice reading out long messages, the AI will pick out the main points. This should make it simpler for both the driver and passengers to stay connected without being bothered by lengthy messages while on the road.
Let’s say a friend sends a detailed message about dinner plans. Now, the system will pick out the important stuff, like where to eat, what king of food, and when to meet up. This way, you don’t have to sit through their thoughts or suggestions about tonight’s specials.
And if your phone is blowing up with group messages, Android Auto can give you a quick random of the chat. It can even suggest replies and actions without you having to grab your phone. Gorm example, it might suggest changing plans from the group chat or telling everyone when you’ll get there.
On top of that, Google says that soon, Android Auto will let you personalize the look of your car screen. It’ll mirror things like your phone’s wallpaper and icons, making it feel more like your own.
If you’re ever talking to your can to reply to messages, you know it can be tricky. Even if you speak perfectly, the car’s voice system can mess up words and numbers, making you start over.
This can be just as distracting as looking at your phone while driving. But Google’s upcoming updates want to make things easier. The AI will now highlight important parts of busy group messages, saving time. And you can send quick replies with just one tap instead of typing a whole message.
Also, if the system suggests a new meeting point or updates your arrival time, you can do it with a simple click. This means you don’t have to spend a lot of time finding with the car’s screen. Anything that helps you keeps your eyes on the road is a good thing.
