DoNews January 7 news (Liu Wenxuan) Volvo (Volvo) said that the company will take the lead in directly integrating Google Home in its cars, so that you can use the assistant to enter the remote control of some functions of the vehicle, such as starting the cooling and heating in the car before going out. Users can also obtain vehicle information through assistants, but sensitive operations such as unlocking require two-step authentication.
Volvo expects to integrate with Google Home in the coming months and will add features such as scheduled charging in the future. To use these features, the vehicle needs an Android-based in-car entertainment system, connected to the Volvo Cars app, and a device that supports Google Assistant.
In fact, there is a precedent for similar operations in the industry, before the owners of General Motors (GM) and BMW (BMW) can control the vehicle through Alexa, and Samsung also brings the SmartThings control panel to the Android Auto system of some cars.
In addition, Volvo's entertainment system will also introduce a YouTube service, which can be downloaded directly from the Play Store, but for operational safety, users can only watch YouTube videos while the vehicle is stationary.
