- Google has just made some important changes in Android Auto
- The introduction of Gemini easily allows conversation voice indications
- But adjustments to media controls have frustrated some
Google has introduced a series of updates recently, including the bearing of its assistant to the GEMINI to smart watches, televisions and in the environment of the vehicle through Android Auto updates.
The software update 14.4, which is now available in the beta test program, has made a series of subtle settings to its so -called ‘Coolwalk screen’, which essentially offers a series of applications in one and easy to navigate in the Android interface compatible with units and vehicles of vehicles compatible with Android vehicles.
The main problem falls on the media reproduction controls, which have been considered only to bother those who have formed enough muscle memory to play, pause and rewind without having to look at the infotainment screen.
Auto Evolution reported that the Play/Pause button is now aligned to the left out of the screen in left traction vehicles, placing it closer to the driver but changing it with where the rewind/previous/previous button used to reside.
However, since the updates are only available in the beta test program, the search giant still has a lot of time to listen to users’ comments and make more changes if you consider them necessary.
Gemini jumps on the road trip

Google is pushing its AI assistant to a series of intelligent devices, including watches, headphones and smart glasses, allowing users to receive recommendations and answers to common questions using conversational voice indications.
The function is also updating the current voice commands of Google Assistant that are presented in the Android Auto infotainment systems and those cars that execute an automotive operating system of Native Android.
This means that both drivers and passengers can request specific locations along the route, such as service stations that are good to walk through dogs or locate faster load stations nearby.
When users connect their favored messaging application, Google says that Gemini can summarize any message received and even get as far as translating them to another language before sending them, if you have many bilingual friends.
It seems that Gemini will take some of the awkward applications that motorists have the task that motorists have the task, thanks to the ability to ask the AI assistant to summarize the news headlines (with or without sports) and even answer those difficult questions that children inevitably raise on a long trip.
Google says that Gemini will be available on Android Auto in the “next months”, followed by those cars that execute the Native Android Automotive operating system.
