Google’s Maserati is running Android

2016-05-18
hey everybody I'm dieter Bohlen with Verge and I'm inside a Maserati probably the most expensive car I've ever sat in but what I'm actually here to look at is this new system and what Maserati and Google have done is built a concept system that shows some of the things that might be possible if a car manufacturer wanted to do a whole bunch of cool stuff so for example here you can see we've got a very similar basic homescreen to what we've seen before but when you start jumping into some of the apps it goes into a split screen so on the bottom is like the current activity like say you know the Google music you're looking at or your navigation and then the other stuff that you're doing actually shows up on the top here so you can jump around between the different things without having to keep hitting the home button or hitting one of these buttons on the bottom so that's pretty cool in addition to that it also is an example of how Android could could directly control some of the parts of the car so what we have here is we can control the HVAC system so I'll turn the fan way up and there it's pretty loud turn it down you can adjust the temperature on each side and you can even turn on the heated seats which is pretty cool there's also a smaller screen on the driver's side behind the steering wheel and it's able to show current stuff from its activity so if you're navigating it'll show you your next turn when you switch to the next song it'll slide over the album art so you can see what the you know the next song is and it'll also even when you're making a call it will show who you're calling for a brief bit in your next car which won't be a Maserati you probably won't have this massive screen but you'll probably get a lot of these cool features and you'll get a lot of these animations and maybe control your HVAC - if you'd like to see more cool videos about Android we're here at Google i/o all week please subscribe
