They are being demonstrated at Google’s Android booth at CES in Polestar 3.

Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO, says: “Google is one of our most important technology partners. Since launching Polestar 2 over three years ago, we have seen the Android Automotive OS ecosystem expand with a long list of new apps and functionalities being introduced. Our strong relationship continues to deliver new features for Polestar owners, and they will enrich Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 this year as well.”

Send a planned route from mobile device to car

Google is introducing a new feature that allows users to plan trips on Google Maps on their Android or iOS device and simply send the planned route to Google Maps built into their Polestar 2. The feature begins rolling out immediately.
