The Google Assistant to Work in the Car

In the U.S. the Assistant will be accessible via Android Auto starting this week. “Android Auto is available in tens of millions of cars on more than 400 models from 40+ brands, including Ford, General Motors, Nissan, Volkswagen and Volvo,” stated Huffman. “With the Assistant in Android Auto, you can listen to your playlists from apps like Spotify or Google Play Music, get quick directions from Google Maps or Waze, and send or receive messages from services like WhatsApp.”

Google Adds a Million “Actions”

Google is referring to things the Google Assistant can do as Actions. ” Actions include features built by Google—like directions on Google Maps—and those that come from developers, publishers and other third parties, like working out with Fitbit Coach,” says Huffman. “So finding photos with Google Photos would be one Action while meditating with Headspace would be another.”

They have created a new directory page to help users explore all of the Actions. simply go to your Assistant on your phone and select the blue icon in the corner. They plan to add millions of additional actions over time.
