Google is expanding its offerings for in-car infotainment systems, welcoming new apps and features to enhance the driving experience. Among the notable additions are the arrival of streaming services Max and Peacock, as well as the popular game Angry Birds, all integrated into cars equipped with Google’s built-in technology. While enjoying these entertainment options, drivers can stay focused, as video streaming and gaming are only accessible while the vehicle is parked.
For Android Auto users, the convenience of the Uber app is soon to be available, providing seamless access to trip and delivery information, along with turn-by-turn navigation, directly from the car’s display. Additionally, Google is introducing a new feature called Google Cast in partnership with Rivian, enabling users to cast video content from their mobile devices to the car’s screen while parked.
This move marks Google’s ongoing efforts to enhance its native Android platform for automotive use. While some brands like Renault, Volvo, and Polestar already support video streaming, others are expected to follow suit in the future. With these updates, Google aims to provide a comprehensive and enjoyable in-car entertainment experience for drivers and passengers alike.
