Android Auto to get AI to reduce driver distraction

Apart from the AI tech, Google also announced that Android Auto will soon be able to better mirror the driver's smartphone

Google has announced that it will be introducing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to its Android Auto connected tech.

The introduction of AI is expected sometime later this year. Once introduced, Google claims it will help reduce distractions for drivers.

In addition, the AI tech will be able to go through your long texts and read aloud a summarised version (shorter version) while on the move. AI will also suggest responses to the messages. Also, if an incoming text message asks about your arrival time, AI will be able to reply with your ETA based on the Google Maps route.

The AI will also help drivers navigate through recent shared locations on a single tap, instead of having to manually enter it on Google Maps.

Apart from the AI tech, Google also announced that Android Auto will soon be able to better mirror the driver's smartphone, taking the icon style & wallpaper on your phone and applying that to the car's dashboard.
