See when Google brings Android and virtual assistants to what cars will look like
Android has run on phones, tablets and TVs in the Mountain View city of Canifonia.
Soon, the operating system will be in the car.
Google showed off two cars equipped with Android at the I / O conference (annual conference for developers) on Wednesday.

Unlike Android Auto, this software allows users to plug phones into cars and can basically control the phone via the integrated screen in the car.
In this case, Google has actually integrated Android directly into the car, so users can do everything from accessing in-app utility apps like Spotify or Google Maps to controlling the settings. Put in the car as adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner.
"This is also a Google Assistant extension" - Google's answer to Apple Siri. Assistant in the car, users can use voice to adjust seats, select music or make calls.
In some cases, this function may not seem very useful. Does it have a simpler and faster way to adjust the air conditioner's lowering button? However, for tasks like navigation, calling and doing the same things, it might be helpful to own a virtual assistant like this sub driver.
We sat in the brand new Volvo V90 running the Android operating system on the infotainment system. Here's a quick look at how it works:
This is the Volvo V90. It is one of the first cars to run Android. The car has integrated LTE wireless network to increase efficiency for the Android system.
This is the main screen of the Android infotainment system. It was modified to match Volvo's design. Here you can see contacts to call on the touch screen.
You can also run third-party applications like Spotify, Pandora and podcast applications.
The system monitor also has all the commands that the user expects from adjusting the seat to adjusting the air conditioner.
When you listen to a podcast or listen to music, the screen will appear like this.
Google Maps is built right into the screen. We are sitting in the back seat, so we can't check if the zoom feature works on the control panel display well. However, it is like the map you use on the phone.
Google Maps also provides you with step-by-step navigation.
However, the real miracle comes from Google Assistant. When you say the phrase "Okay, Google", Assistant will start and execute your commands.
The gray bar at the top of the screen means Google Assistant listening to you.
You can use Assistant to adjust AC, choose songs, make calls, get directions and anything you want to do in the car.
Around the end of the year, Android began to show up on cars. Audi and Volvo will be the first to be equipped.
Many other cars are also compatible with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, allowing users to plug their smartphone into the car's USB port and turn on the vehicle information screen with services from iOS or Android.
However, this is the first time we see a large mobile operating system running naturally in a car like this. You don't even need to use the phone. It is just one of the ways Google attaches Google Assistant to every gadget you use.
