\nGoogle is also touting the newly redesigned Android Auto which makes it easier to reply to messages, play media and so much more. Google is also adding the ability to join meetings while you\u2019re on the road, with apps like Cisco WebEx. Which will allow you to join a meeting via voice, obviously since there\u2019s no camera in the car. Which is an interesting feature, but it\u2019s unclear how useful it\u2019d really be.
\nGoogle Built-in is expanding to more vehicles
\nGoogle Built-in, which is the newest name for Android Automotive. That\u2019s basically vehicles that run solely on Android. So it\u2019s more integrated than Android Auto. Vehicles like the Polestar 2 and Volvo XC40. Google says that by the end of this year, the number of car makers with Android Built-in will double. And it\u2019ll include top brands like Chevrolet, Renault, Volvo, Polestar and Honda.
\nWe do know that Chevy\u2019s newest EVs will use Google Built-in. Those include the Chevy Equinox EV, Blazer EV and Silverado EV. Additionally, the Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer EV already use Android Built-in. So there\u2019s some major traction here.
\nHaving Google Built-in is a big deal for EVs, as it\u2019s going to make it easier for customers to use the built-in maps to find charging stations. As well as know how low the battery will be once they get to the charger. With EVs, they charge faster, the lower they are. So this is a big deal, especially since Google Maps is far better than what car makers build themselves.
