Google just made some big changes to Android Auto The introduction of Gemini allows for easy conversation voice members But adjustments to media control have frustrated some
Google has introduced a number of updates recently, including bringing its AI-driven assistant Gemini to smartwatches, TV and into the vehicle environment through updates to Android Auto.
Software Update 14.4, which is now available in the Beta Testing program, has made a number of subtle adjustments to its so-called ‘Coolwalk Screen’, which essentially offers a number of applications in an easy-to-navigate interface on Android Auto-Compatible Vehicle Vehicle and Vehicles running Android Automotive OS.
The main question lies with the media game controls, which have been mixed around just to irritate those that have formed enough muscle memory to play, pause and rewind without having to look at the infotainment display.
Auto Evolution reported that the Play/Pause button is now adjusted to the left of the screen of the left-drive vehicles, placed it closer to the driver, but change it with where the return/previous button used to stay.
However, since the updates are currently only available in the Beta Test Program, the search giant still has plenty of time to listen to user feedback and make further changes if it finds them necessary.

Google pushes its AI assistant to a variety of smart devices, including watches, headphones and smart glasses, allowing users to receive recommendations and answers to ordinary questions using conversation -voice messages.
The feature is also upgrading the current Google Assistant voicing commands containing in the Android Auto Infotainment Systems and the cars running a built -in Android Automotive operating system.
This means that both drivers and passengers can request specific locations along the route, such as service stations that are good at walking dogs or locating the fastest charging stations nearby.
When users connect their favorite messaging app, Google says Gemini can summarize any received messages and even go so far as to translate them into another language before sending – if you have lots of bilingual friends.
Gemini seems to remove some of the awkward app mixed that drivers are tasked, thanks to the ability to now ask the AI assistant to summarize the news headlines (with or without sports) and even answer the difficult questions that children inevitably ask on a long journey.
Google says Gemini will be available on Android Auto in the “coming months”, followed by the cars driving the native Android Automotive OS.
