No more distractions while driving and handling tasks. With Android Auto, tasks like messaging, calling, or navigation are all voice-controlled. All you need is a smart device connected to the internet, plug it into your car, and navigate with voice commands.
Targeting frequent drivers, Google introduces Android Auto - a device control system operated entirely by voice, ensuring zero distractions while driving.
Google unveiled its Android Auto user interface in San Francisco, announcing that 21 car manufacturers in the US have committed to providing smart control systems in their vehicles. When users plug their smartphones into their cars, the vehicle takes over phone functions and disables handheld devices.
Google aims to attract drivers with a comprehensive feature set, enticing them to use their phones hands-free while driving.
Apple recently introduced CarPlay to reduce driver distractions. Similarly, Google launched Android Auto for making calls, sending texts, and accessing Google Maps, all voice-controlled.
Hyundai hopes to offer both CarPlay and Android Auto in the 2015 Sonata sedan by the end of this year. Audi plans to start providing the Android Auto interface to its European customers in 2015, with the US market following in 2016.
It seems renowned car manufacturers are swiftly embracing these trends to produce smarter next-generation vehicles.
With technology advancing rapidly, we can hope for smart cars in the near future that can locate and control like those in science fiction movies.
