Google Assistant's Driving Mode

Android users have a new way to interact with their built-in Google Assistant. Google has announced a new Driving Mode for the assistant.

The Driving Mode turns the Google Assistant into an extension of an infotainment system for any Android smartphone. The Driving Mode also focuses on accomplishing tasks with just the driver's voice so they can keep their attention on the road ahead. Upon pairing the smartphone with a car's Bluetooth connection, Driving Mode will open automatically and provide information for the trip ahead. For example, Driving Mode will suggest events or reservations. Drivers can then begin a navigation route to the destination from Driving Mode without fumbling around with their phones.

The most relevant functions are front and centre on the screen, such as navigation, media, messages, and phone. The media function ensures a song, podcast, or whatever the driver was listening to before jumping in the car picks up exactly where it left off. Meanwhile, if a phone call comes through, Driving Mode will alert the driver and he or she can respond with their voice if they'd like to accept or decline the call.

The function should be appreciated by users without a fancy in-car infotainment system, or for drivers of older vehicles. If a Bluetooth connection isn't available in the car, drivers can also say, "Hey Google, let's drive" to open Driving Mode.

Not only will Google Assistant get smarter in the car, it also will grow more intelligent in other ways. Google announced its assistant will be able to control certain vehicle functions outside of the car. Launching in Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai models to start, Google Assistant can control the cabin's temperature before hopping in for a drive, for example.

Battery Sensor

Many modern cars have a battery current sensor. It might also be called a battery management or monitor sensor, or simply battery sensor. Typically, a battery sensor is installed on the negative battery terminal or on the cable. It might be installed on the positive terminal. Some cars have two sensors, one on each terminal.   A BMW battery sensor How the battery sensor works: it measures the current to and from the battery. It may also monitor the voltage, state of charge and state of health of the battery (aging). In some cars, it even measures the temperature of the battery. The vehicle computer (Body control module BCM or Powertrain control module PCM) uses these inputs to precisely adjust the charging system voltage, idle speed and other parameters for better fuel efficiency and longer battery life. This system is called Power or Battery Management System or BMS. If the system detects that the battery is getting weak, it may turn off some electrical accessories (load shedding)...
