Comprehensive Guide on Electric Vehicles: Nearly All You Require About In-Car Entertainment Systems
In the world of electric vehicles, Polestar is making waves with its integration of Google technology. Here's a look at how this partnership enhances the driving experience.
Google Home Integration takes centre stage, allowing drivers to check their Polestar's battery charge status, activate climate functions, and control smart home devices, all from the comfort of their car. This integration is a testament to Polestar's commitment to keeping drivers connected and comfortable.
The central display in all Polestar models serves as a command centre for car and safety functions, settings, and entertainment offerings. This intuitive interface ensures that drivers have all the necessary information at their fingertips.
Electric vehicle charging is more convenient than ever. With ultra-rapid charging capabilities, charging stops only take around half an hour or less. This means less time spent waiting and more time on the road.
The Google Automotive Keyboard app transforms a Polestar's touchscreen into a computer keyboard, making work and home-life tasks a breeze while recharging the battery pack or waiting for the school run to begin.
Polestar's first three years of in-car data are included in the price of the vehicle, ensuring the car remains constantly connected to the Internet.
The Polestar centre display hosts a variety of digital entertainment offerings, including streaming services like Prime Video, Tidal, Sybel, Audible, and Pocket Casts. This means drivers can enjoy their favourite shows, music, podcasts, and audiobooks during their journeys.
Google Assistant is another key feature, allowing drivers to have emails read aloud, reply to text messages, and be reminded of important calendar entries, all without taking their eyes off the road.
The driver's display in Polestar models features preconfigured modes that provide necessary information, such as speed, battery status, navigation, or driver assistance information. An alternative navigational tool, such as Waze, is just a swipe and a prod away on the Polestar infotainment system.
The integration of Polestar vehicles into the Google Home ecosystem, specifically the management and maintenance of the first Google Automotive Services head unit in the Polestar 2, was developed and is managed by GlobalLogic Sweden.
Setting up Google Home in a Polestar's ecosystem enables drivers to control various vehicle functions and smart home devices using a smart speaker. The switch between Polestar's menus and Google Play applications is seamless and akin to operating any other kind of tablet.
Polestar 2, Polestar 3, and Polestar 4 all have dedicated head-up displays that beam important information in front of the driver. While Polestar 2 supports Apple CarPlay with a wired connection, Polestar 4 offers wireless connection, and Polestar 3's wireless offering is coming soon.
The Breathe app, a popular download for Polestar drivers, turns the car into a place of rest and relaxation with calming therapeutic sounds and minimalist visuals. Polestar 4's in-car entertainment system features a 15.4-inch, frameless centre display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels and landscape orientation.
The Polestar 4's in-car entertainment system interface is designed to make using apps and car functions more intuitive. During charging stops, drivers can watch their favourite TV shows on Prime Video, listen to music on Tidal, or catch up on podcasts and audiobooks through Sybel, Audible, and Pocket Casts.
The Google Play store is constantly being updated with new apps, including productivity-boosting apps and the ability to join Zoom calls. Polestar's infotainment system allows drivers to access productivity-boosting apps and join Zoom calls through the Google Play store.
Finally, the infotainment system in Polestar models can remember the settings and preferences of up to six drivers, ensuring a personalised experience for everyone who gets behind the wheel. With these features, Polestar is truly redefining the driving experience.
