Automobile major Honda has announced it will integrate Google's Android Automotive OS into an all-new model that will be launched in the second half of 2022.
The car maker will reportedly start rolling out vehicles with Google's embedded Android Automotive OS, which includes Google's voice-activated Assistant, Google Maps, and other automotive-approved Android apps as the default infotainment, reports The Verge
"We will collaborate with Google to better integrate Google in vehicle services in our vehicles including the ability to more easily use features like Google Assistant, Google Maps functionality and other in-vehicle apps offered through Google Play," the report quoted a Honda spokesperson as saying.
