2014-04-29
what's up Brian song here and welcome to Google ishes for all the Google that we can pack inside of the show each week let's get to it and the googs just dropped a really cool update on us with some of the latest developments for their self driving cars now they've shifted their focus to mastering city street driving and a video released shows how the vehicle can navigate through things like construction zones or railroad crossings they even show how its able to detect a moving bicyclist watching this example when the cyclist holds up his arm our software detects the hand signal and predicts his movement into our lane look it even recognizes those people on bikes that don't know where they're going half the time but think they own the road so instead of driving through them the self-driving car waits for them the examples this video shows are really impressive and their vehicles have now logged nearly 700,000 autonomous miles see in the near future you really be able to do your makeup and drive at the same time now we've talked about some of the new interface tweaks and refreshes to apps and icons that we are expecting at Google i/o and a new report says the g men and women are planning to expand the capabilities of ok Google and introduce new navigation buttons android police reports that you'll be able to say okay google anywhere in android and specific actions will appear on screen depending on the app you're using so if you're working in the Photos app you can share some of those pictures now here's screenshots of what authorizing that feature might look like the report says it will be limited to Google Play and Nexus devices that are all running a pure Android OS Android police also say it might be able to provide suggested actions if you're doing something like emailing someone and at that time it offers you to reply to them on the spot so we'll probably continue to hear new information like this with google i/o still in late June there's also a lot happening around Samsung after they sent out a teaser for what's believed to be an announcement for the rumor two galaxies k the obvious successor the galaxy s4 zoom here Samsung's Instagram teaser showing an optical zoom into the red dot Museum in Singapore so we'll follow up with the details from the event next week hey korean giant continues to diversify its product offering this time with a new line of headphones called samsung level there will be the level in in-ear headphones the level on lightweight wired headphones and the level over cable free headphones that connect over bluetooth see the theme here and I shouldn't forget their level box that's their own bluetooth speaker box they'll be available for sale online and in retail stores in mid-may but there's no word if there will be headphones inspired by the Cartoon Network show level up because everyone would want a pair of those and in samsung rumours a report from sammobile claims the galaxy s5 prime will launch in june this will be the long-rumored beefed up s5 that's been talked about over the past few months featuring a quad AC display at a 2560 x 1440 resolution and the device could debut a new octa-core processor with an integrated LTE modem a variation of the galaxy's s5 model number has appeared on Samsung's official website and that same device appeared in graphics of benchmarking software with the higher resolution display now seems to be a little odd timing to drop a prime edition right after the s5s release in there could be some backlash but we'll wait and see but before they do that maybe they should work on that s 5s camera killing bug Samsung has acknowledged that a bug that looks to be more specific to the verizon version of the s5 completely breaks the phone's camera as a user is hit with a camera failure error message leaving your s5 camera completely dead that's right no selfies the cause of the issue is yet to be determined but Samsung is taking responsibility and says a limited number of s5s are experiencing it and pointing people to their customer support number alright guys it's going to do for this week email us at Google licious at cnet com or tweet me at brian Tong they so much watching we'll see you guys next week for some more of that Google Isha's judicious
