The Digital car key feature of Android 12 was initially shown off by Google at I/O 2021, and it was announced that some Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones would support it later that year. The feature started coming out to the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Galaxy S21 series early last month, and you can use it to unlock select compatible BMW vehicles. You will be able to use the Google Assistant to access additional car functions in the future thanks to a few extra helpful features that Google is currently developing.
In a recent blog post showcasing some of the new features it expects to release this year, Google said that it is working on granting users access to more car functions via the Google Assistant. You can use your voice to lock and unlock your car, warm-up and cool down the inside, and obtain helpful information on any Assistant-enabled devices.
Google intends to release these new voice commands later this year. The voice commands will initially only work on a certain number of Volvo vehicles, but Google wants to eventually add support for additional automakers. The corporation has not yet decided on the launch date. As soon as users can access the new voice commands, we’ll keep you informed.
Google has promised a number of other future features for Android phones, Chromebooks, and other devices in addition to the new Assistant voice commands for automotive operations.
