Google adds AI to Android Auto to reduce driver distraction

Google is set to revolutionize the driving experience with the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) features to Android Auto, aimed at minimizing distractions for drivers. The new functionality will include the ability to summarize and suggest responses for long messages or chats, provide estimated time of arrival (ETA) based on Google Maps route, and enable quick navigation to shared locations with a single tap. Additionally, Android Auto’s design will now mirror that of the user’s phone, bringing a seamless experience from handheld device to car dashboard. This move positions Android Auto as a strong contender in the in-car tech space, offering drivers access to Google services and the convenience of the Google Assistant voice companion.
