Google announces 4 big improvements for Android Auto

When we are driving it is important not to use the mobile phone directly. Another option is to make use of tools that provide greater accessibility such as Android Auto , which guarantees quick and easy-access controls for your device without having to take your eyes off the road.

Although Google has announced that the company’s own Voice Assistant will replace Android Auto in Android 12, the US company has made official new functions that will reach the intelligent driving software. Some of them are related to helping the user to focus on his task of operating the vehicle, although system problems continue on certain occasions.

These focus on offering the driver different suggestions based on an incoming message. Simply touch the preferred alternative to reply , but you can also create a custom reply yourself.

Automatically start the app

Another of the additions by Google is the ability to start Android Auto automatically. This new setting provides three different ways to start the application: always, if it was used during the last trip, or default.

You can easily find this particularity within the Settings of the car screen. In this way, just by connecting the mobile, the Google software will start working.

Your mobile is now a key

This is no surprise, as Google already announced that this would be feasible before the end of the current year 2021. However, a specific and short number of mobiles can be used as a key.

Specifically, the new Google smartphones, Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro, and the Samsung Galaxy S21. Of course, they can only be used with compatible BMW cars . So they are somewhat complicated requirements to fully comply with.

Choose music in an instant

Listening to music in your car has never been easier. The big G has confirmed the arrival of a music button that will forever be established on the screen. Just to the left of the notifications icon. A quick way to access your favorite songs.
