Android Auto is coming direct to Volvo. At Google I/O 2018, Volvo showcased its latest Android P-based infotainment system that will give drivers access to Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play without needing to pair your phone, which should be great news for both Android and iPhone users.

Curious if anyone knows anything about this release date. Still just 2020?Are they on track? Just bought a 2020 Volvo, would love to know when this might happen.
Will the current Volvo cars be able to upgrade to this system or do I have to buy a new car when it rolls out?
Would have been better if the first look vid was done while the car was on the move.
2:03 the magic of the lag of most Android devices transferred to the car
I assume, the car is connected to the internet the whole time, like in a Tesla, right? Also, this might be Android P, but until 2020 it will be Q I assume.
Imagine Google assistant reservation thing with your car
volvo is owned by china
I have this car (finally after waiting since April), and I have to say, this native built in Android Auto IS NOT part of the system. I still need to attach my phone via USB to utilize Android Auto. The implementation in the video looks way better than what they've delivered. Who knows, there may be an update in the future for this native version.
can digital dash show google map?
Marvin's room??
2020 is too long of a timeframe, 2019 could be understandable.
Volvo supply the machinery to the IDF that are used to demolish the homes of Palestinians and tear up their Olive Groves. The bulldozer that ran over and dismembered American activist Rachel Corrie was a Volvo.
My XC60 2018 has a nice HUD. I was imaging if the can display navigation's from Google map when I connected my phone. Now it's seriously coming. Good job Volvo. Was planning to drive the car for at least 6 years, now they are giving me a hard time to wait 6 years, damn.
Id assume it will be just as buggy as AA as it is right now on Google Flagship Pixel 2

2020 wow ?????? why so long ?? Oh because Google is basically stable-beta now across all Platforms.
Will an upgrade be available for current vehicle models with Sensus?
Yeah you just lost so many buyers
1:25 "interGATED"
the G-maps dash view alone justified it. don't even have to look at phone for navigation anymore? yes pls
Iphone movement for automotive connected systems…This is native n hence u get all apps which r authorized by google for automotive. more than 800 apps already authorized.
I think that they should call it Android Auto OS or something like that if it's built into the car instead of running off your phone
I was almost sold on buying a Volvo till she mentioned 2020.
I hope cars running this can drive themselves, because that's one hell of a distraction trying to work a tablet interface while you're driving.
Isnt it Android P?
How does it already have Android p? Only pixels have Android P RN! And that's still in beta
VOLVO is the BEST!!!!☺️
It’s so weird that car’s’ infotainment doesn’t run on Android or iOS by default…
Awesome, now one can have i phone and use google map. AWESOME
Will this be retroactively installed into already purchased 2019 XC40s?
and after 2 years, it will not longer receive updates
i was more interested in those things at the sides of the screen throughout the video, are those air vents
Native Android in your car…
It will get hacked within a month
Lol 2020
Ive been wanting a computer in a car since the time when cars come with navigation display. Took them long enough.
New host? She’s great!
XC40 ??
VOLVO PLZ FIX
She kept waving her hand in front of the screen while introducing the console.. I thought something cool was going to happen ?
Car manufacturers need to give up on the infotainment system and just use solutions from Google & Apple.
Am I the only one that thought 2020 was about 10 years away>?
My concern about all of these replacements of the cars core components to Google or iOS is the supportability over time. Sure having Android Auto builtin sounds awesome… Until Google stops supporting your car 5 years later because it's specs are too low. That will just cascade to other portions as services like Spotify and Maps update, they will too eventually stop supporting the car. Not to say that phone mirror for Apple Carplay or Android Auto isn't that great either, but I do believe it would be easier to support over the long haul.
Nice but I don't have car ?
Volvo makes one of the best infotainment systems and they're giving in to Google? Learn, EVERY OTHER carmaker
This won't be available until 2020?!!!
Android Automotive*
Smart but ugly
but i really want apple maps
Does it lag? Lol
This might be a dumb question but does The car use your phone's data/require your phone always or does it have it's open data plan and is completely self contained?
