Google on Monday unveiled a series of updates to Android Auto, the mobile app that connects a driver's Android phone to their car's in-dash infotainment system. The updates come ahead of this week's Google I/O developer conference, where the Mountain View, Calif.-based tech giant plans to showcase the ways the Android operating system is power different in-car experiences.[br][br][br]
[br][br]The new features are largely designed to help simplify common tasks and show more useful information at a glance: There's a new navigation bar that lets you control different functions - like getting directions or taking an incoming call - from the same screen. In a new notification center, drivers will get centralized information about all of their communications, including recent calls, messages and alerts.[br][br]For cars with a wider screen in the head unit, Android Auto now maximizes the display to show more information, such as playback controls and ongoing calls. Additionally, Android Auto features a new color palette - a darker theme with colorful accents and easy-to-read fonts - that should improve visibility.[br][br]The new design features will roll out to Android Auto-compatible cars later this summer.[br]After launching about five years ago, Android Auto now supports more than 500 car models from 50 different brands, Google said.[br][br]While Android Auto is growing, Google is also fostering partnerships with automakers like Volvo to build Android-powered infotainment sytems directly into cars. |
