Android Auto is to start responding to voice commands and accept wireless connectivity standards over the coming year. During the keynote the company confirmed that the Android n will bring the “Seamless Updates” that is a feature borrowed from Chrome OS. Google is still working on the new software and aim to release it to the public sometime this summer, then we can expect HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola and others to quickly start preparing updates.
The report further explained that the new feature requires the device to be repartitioned and this is something that the everyday user would not be able to do. Not yet officially named, or available, Android N seeks to streamline numerous processes on your mobile devices. After all, Google targets to dominate the vehicle industry with full Android auto apps that will facilitate and improve every aspect that the big companies wish to develop.
Google had announced plenty of new features for Android N at I/O 2016. Nevolution is now free to download from Google Play and is still in the beta stage.
Google revealed Android Auto’s new features at its I/O 2016 conference this week. It won’t be a surprise Google wants to tap the tech firm for Nexus 2016 once more.
Android Auto is quite possibly shaping up to be the dark horse in Google’s larger Android family.
Yibada reported that the main aim of the Android N is to focus on productivity of the devices.
That being said, the Android N will likely be released in its full form by August.
