Tap on the “camera” section of the top control bar, and you’ll unlock a Space Invaders-style game called Polestar Space Warp, which is actually playable in the demo.
There are a bunch of cheeky touches throughout the demo, too, all of which seem to imply that Polestar wants to offer some of the joy-over-function features that permeate Tesla’s infotainment system.
They may even adapt on the fly based on what’s most recently been used, similar to how the left rail of Apple’s CarPlay UI operates.) (These four quadrants are presumably customizable. The demo shows off what it would be like to have quick access to various Google apps in those four quadrants, including Maps, Calendar, and Play Music.
The bottom control bar offers quick access to climate and seat settings. There’s a page for apps, another for user profiles, and one for the car’s functions (like steering or regenerative braking settings). The top control bar lets users tap around different sections of the user interface. There are four quadrants with persistent control bars at the top and bottom. It’s a completely new design that fits well in a portrait mode tablet, with big buttons and icons so that the driver or passenger doesn’t have to be so precise with their taps and swipes. What Polestar showed off on Wednesday looks a lot different, however. (Audi’s been far more tight-lipped about its own project.) The display was skinned to look just like the Swedish carmaker’s Sensus infotainment system, but it had access to the Android Auto version of Google’s Play Store app ecosystem as well as fully integrated versions of Google Maps, Play Music, and more. At last year’s I/O, Google showed off an early version of what will end up in Volvo’s cars in 2020. It’s not a full demo, but it’s a taste of what’s to comeĪt its 2017 I/O developer conference, Google announced that it was working on a native version of Android Auto that would not require the use of a smartphone, and Volvo and Audi were the first automakers to strike a deal to put it in their cars.
