GM Vehicles Will Have Google Assistant Capabilities Beginning in 2021

— September 6, 2019 — Autos
Google Assistant Capabilities will come to GM cars beginning in 2021, which will give drivers access to navigation, as well as different apps. The auto manufacturer began adding Google and Android integration into its cars in 2017 and has since expanded in this direction. The cars will be able to run Android Automotive OS, which is created to be an open-source mobile OS. However, the OS was altered for use in cars.

Some of the Google Assistant capabilities will include Google voice, as well as navigation capabilities. The system will be able to run apps from the Google Play store.

Google indicated in May that it would be opening its Android Automotive OS to outside developers. This would allow outside parties to create apps for vehicles.
