Android Auto: A More Safe and Convenient Way to Drive

Google recently announced a number of new features and apps for Android Auto, designed to make it easier and safer to use your phone while driving. Here is a closer look at some of the new features:

  • A Redesigned Interface

    • The new interface for Android Auto is more focused on driving safety and convenience. It features a larger, more prominent map view, as well as simplified controls for music, calls, and messages. The new interface also includes a new "Do Not Disturb" mode that can be activated with a single tap.

  • Support for New Apps

    • Google announced support for a number of new apps for Android Auto, including Spotify, Audible, and Google Podcasts. These apps will allow you to listen to music, audiobooks, and podcasts while driving without having to take your eyes off the road.

  • Google Assistant Integration

    • Google Assistant is now more tightly integrated with Android Auto. You can now use Google Assistant to control your car's climate control, make calls, send messages, and more. You can also use Google Assistant to get information about your surroundings, such as the weather, traffic conditions, and nearby businesses.

  • Car Controls

    • Car Controls is a new feature that lets you access your car's settings and features directly from Android Auto. This includes things like the climate control, the radio, and the navigation system. Car Controls makes it easier to adjust your car's settings without having to take your eyes off the road.

These new features and apps for Android Auto are a significant improvement over the previous version of the platform. They make it easier, safer, and more convenient to use your phone while driving. If you have a car that supports Android Auto, I encourage you to update to the latest version of the app.

Try It Out

If you're interested in trying out Android Auto, here are a few things you need to do:

  1. Make sure your car supports Android Auto. You can check with your car manufacturer to see if your car is compatible.
  2. Make sure your phone is running Android 5.0 or higher.
  3. Download the Android Auto app from the Google Play Store.
  4. Connect your phone to your car using a USB cable.
  5. Once your phone is connected, you should see the Android Auto interface appear on your car's display.

Once you've set up Android Auto, you can start using it to control your music, navigation, and other features while driving. You can also use Google Assistant to get information, make calls, and send messages without taking your hands off the wheel.

Android Auto is a great way to make your drive more safe and convenient. If you have a car that supports it, I encourage you to give it a try.

Earphones Review: Cowon EM1

Like ballistic weapons and automobiles, the basic working principle in audio equipment has largely been the same for a long time. All improvements over the past few decades have been incremental at best, especially since there hasn't been any fundamental shift in the underlying technology. This means, we are used to having a clear idea of capabilities and limitations of any product within a given price range. Take the low-end IEM segment for example. Although the sub-Rs 1500 range is home to excellent offerings from JVC, SoundMAGIC and Sony, none of these alternatives are without their fair share of niggles. These are niggles that we have grown accustomed to, because what's gained in terms of value in a budget IEM invariably has to be balanced out with a compromise in audio fidelity. This was believed to be the norm—that is, until we got our mitts on Cowon's EM1 in-ear earphones.
