Polestar showcases the future of the Human Machine Interface
19 Feb 2020|1,155 views
The Polestar 2 is set to be the first vehicle on the market powered by Android with the Google Assistant, Google Maps and the Google Play Store built-in.


Google Assistant will be an even more helpful co-pilot while driving, using advanced speech technology to expand to more languages, understand local accents and provide more personalised experiences.
The system will build on current Google Assistant functionality, allowing instructions to be delivered in a natural conversational flow that will improve over time, rather than from a list of pre-set options.
Video streaming from popular apps and services will also be made available as a convenient solution for occupants when the vehicle is parked and during charging.
Avoiding information overload is also key to Polestar's offering and a further expression of the brand's minimalist approach. Polestar will implement advanced eye-tracking and proximity sensors to deliver information in a controlled manner. The display screens will alter their brightness and content based on conditions and reactions of the driver, while dimmed displays will increase in intensity when users glance in their direction, and the presented controls will adapt to the approach of a user's hand. The new system will also warn users if they are spending too much time looking at the screen rather than the road ahead.
