Android Auto wants to make it easier to check and respond to messages while driving. This is both a risk, by making these distractions more accessible, but also an ever safer solution than looking at your smartphone while driving, which many motorists unfortunately do.
Suggestions for action in response to a message received
Thus, Google announces that its replication interface similar to Apple’s CarPlay will be enriched with new functions. Based on artificial intelligence (AI), they will make it possible, for example, to summarize a long message or a group conversation. Summarizing texts is one of the actions best mastered by generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT or Google Bard.
Google algorithms will also be able to suggest actions in relation to messages received. From these texts it will be possible to retrieve an address and launch a route with Maps. Depending on the content of the message, Android Auto may also offer to send its time to destination to its correspondent, or to initiate a call, if it considers that these actions could be wise.
Finally, these future functions having been revealed during the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S24, Google announces the possibility of resuming the wallpaper and app icons on its Android Auto interface, for users of the smartphone series .
