Alphabet (GOOGL) Boosts Android Auto With New AI Feature
Read MoreHide Full Article
Alphabet (GOOGL - Free Report) is leaving no stone unturned to bolster its presence in the automobile sector on the back of robust AI capabilities for Android Auto.
In this regard, the company announced the wide availability of its AI message summarizing feature on the newest version of Android Auto.
This feature is applicable for messages with a minimum of 40-word limit, allowing AI to automatically summarize longer texts or busy group chats while driving. This provides users with a quick and easy way to stay updated on unread messages.
Alphabet is expected to gain significant popularity among car owners using the Android platform on the back of its latest move.
Moreover, the AI message summarizing feature is in sync with Alphabet’s continued efforts to enhance its product and service offerings with the power of AI, which, in turn, will likely strengthen its presence in the booming global AI market space. Per a Fortune Business Insights report, the global AI market size is expected to reach $2.02 trillion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 21.6% between 2023 and 2030.
Apart from the AI message summarizing feature, Google Maps on Android Auto now displays 3D buildings while driving, a feature that is enabled by default. The feature can be turned off in Google Maps settings. However, 3D buildings only appear when Android Auto is in light mode and disappear when the UI switches to dark mode.
Further, Google's MyRadar, a radar-first weather app, is now available on Android Auto, offering hyperlocal forecasts, push notifications and Wear OS support. MyRadar's "RouteCast" feature provides alerts and forecasts for the weather along your car's route, offering valuable weather insights for drivers.
All the above-mentioned endeavors will aid Alphabet in capitalizing on growth opportunities present in the promising automotive infotainment market. Per a Grand View Research report, the global automotive infotainment market is expected to witness a CAGR of 9.9% between 2024 and 2030.
We note that the company’s increasing efforts to bolster its Android Auto portfolio will expand its Android offerings. This, in turn, will boost its Google Services segment, which remains the key growth catalyst for Alphabet. Its shares have rallied 44.2% in the past year compared with the Zacks Computer & Technology sector’s growth of 46.8%.
The strengthening Google Services segment is expected to aid its overall financial performance in the days ahead.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 total revenues stands at $286.52 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 11.7%.
