GOTHENBURG: Polestar 2, the electric performance car brand's first full EV, is the first vehicle on the market powered by Android with the Google Assistant, Google Maps and the Google Play Store built-in.
Polestar will continue to evolve the user experience in its future vehicles through further collaboration with Google. The Swedish electric performance car brand looks even further into the future.
“We already showed the world we take digital integration in our cars seriously and are open to collaborate with experts in these fields,” says Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO.
“Now we continue that story, sharing a vision that is even more in tune with the preferences of our individual customers. Building on the Android infotainment system in Polestar 2, our future systems will make life in our cars easier, safer and more fun.”
Polestar will continue to use Android as a platform to build a truly personalised and contextualised experience.
This integration will open up new possibilities in the car, beyond the already available adjustment of mirrors, seats, climate and entertainment settings to the driver’s personal preferences.
Polestar will continue to partner with Google on advanced safety, as demonstrated by the fusion of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Google Maps. Integrated ADAS means the vehicle will use detailed map information to promote safer manoeuvres on the road.
Polestar is jointly owned by Volvo Car Group and Zhejiang Geely Holding.
