Here are my first impressions of the latest features, set to launch later this year.<\/p>\n<h2>A more contextual appearance<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s one thing to hear Google explain all the Material 3 Expressive changes that decorate the upcoming Android Auto interface, but it&#8217;s another to actually sit in a car with the software running.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\"><!----> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/google-io-android-auto-demo\/\" alt=\"Android Auto demo at Google I\/O 2026\" width=\"1280\" height=\"719.3798449612403\" fetchpriority=\"low\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Kerry Wan\/ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Case in point: seeing Google Maps, the new three-panel layout with smart home controls, and a video player that automatically minimizes to audio-only on a Volvo EX60 spoiled me. You can even stack your own prompt-generated widgets for a tailored experience. For my demo, a Google employee created a weather widget that clearly indicates whether the weather is suitable for running and biking.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m more of a &#8220;summarize the traffic for my commute this morning and find a local bakery for a quick bite&#8221; kind of guy, but that&#8217;s the beauty of custom widgets. Here&#8217;s to hoping they can meet our creative demands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/6-android-auto-apps-i-wish-i-found-sooner\/\">6 Android Auto apps I wish I found sooner, because they make every drive easier<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Notably, elements on the screen fit and flow more seamlessly, with round-edged designs and color theming that make the car interface feel more like an Android tablet and less like a split-screen of random apps.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a bigger fan of the new immersive navigation in Google Maps, which more accurately portrays buildings, stadiums, hills, and other terrain features, giving drivers and passengers a clearer sense of the path ahead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\"><!----> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/google-io-android-auto-demo\/\" alt=\"Android Auto demo at Google I\/O 2026\" width=\"1280\" height=\"719.3798449612403\" fetchpriority=\"low\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Kerry Wan\/ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I&#8217;d find this particularly helpful, as there are several overpasses and tunnels throughout New York City, and it can often be a struggle to find the right lane for certain turns. Don&#8217;t judge.<\/p>\n<h2>The next stage of Gemini on Android Auto<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;m a big believer in integrating AI with hands-free operating systems, such as Android Auto, Google TV, and Android XR. An assistant is most effective when you simply don&#8217;t have the bandwidth (and concentration) to handle tasks, whether that&#8217;s typing in your next destination, scouting the area, or responding to a notification.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/4-fixes-that-made-android-auto-more-responsive\/\">Android Auto runs faster and smoother now thanks to my 4 easy tweaks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why having Gemini on board is a big deal. With cars that support Android Automotive (the built-in software), such as the Volvo EX60 I was in, you can now ask Gemini to make vehicle-specific adjustments, such as darkening the sunroof or changing the ambient light colors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This all depends on how well the car manufacturer optimizes its parts for Android Automotive, of course, so mileage may vary across makes and models.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large c-shortcodeImage-hasCaption\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\"><!----> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/google-io-android-auto-demo\/\" alt=\"Android Auto demo at Google I\/O 2026\" width=\"1280\" height=\"719.3798449612403\" fetchpriority=\"low\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption>\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_caption g-inner-spacing-right-small g-color-black\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"c-ShortcodeContent\" readability=\"32\">\n<p>You can prompt Gemini to order delivery on DoorDash and track the progress on your phone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Kerry Wan\/ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In a more extreme instance, you can ask Gemini to tap into the car&#8217;s surrounding cameras to handle multimodal queries, such as identifying surrounding buildings and landmarks. For my demo, Gemini properly identified the Transamerica Pyramid ahead, and even spit out some fun facts &#8212; because Gemini <em>loves<\/em> to talk.<\/p>\n<p>On a related note, there was a very subtle but important detail during my simulated car ride: Gemini&#8217;s navigation prompts were much more comprehensible than I was used to. For example, the voice assistant offered directions as &#8220;turn left&nbsp;<em>at the intersection<\/em>&#8221; rather than &#8220;turn left <em>after 0.2 miles.<\/em>&#8221; One of those is clearly easier to understand when driving than the other.<\/p>\n<h2>Bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>Google says the next big Android Auto update, with most, if not all, of the recently announced features, should roll out in waves later this year.
