Guide to Electronic Vehicle Infotainment Systems: Nearly Comprehensive Information on In-Vehicle Entertainment and Navigation Features
In the world of electric vehicles, Polestar stands out for its seamless integration of technology and user-friendly interface. The brand's vehicles, including the Polestar 2, 3, and 4, offer a tablet-like experience, making it effortless to switch between Polestar's menus and popular Google Play applications.
One of the key features that set Polestar apart is its constant connectivity. The first three years of in-car data are included in the price of a Polestar, ensuring that your vehicle remains connected to the Internet at all times.
The center display in Polestar vehicles functions as a central command center, hosting digital entertainment offerings, and serving as a hub for various car functions. The Polestar 4, for instance, boasts a 15.4-inch, frameless screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels and a landscape orientation. The Polestar 3, on the other hand, features a 12.3-inch display, while the Polestar 2 comes with a 9-inch center display. The Polestar 4 also has a 10.2-inch display.
Google Assistant is another highlight, enabling drivers to stay focused on the road. With Google Assistant, drivers can have emails read aloud, reply to text messages, and be reminded of important calendar entries without taking their eyes off the road. The assistant can also be used to check on the battery charge status of the Polestar, activate climate functions, and control smart home devices, all thanks to the Google Home Integration.
The driver's display in Polestar vehicles is equally impressive. It features preconfigured modes that provide necessary information and nothing else. It can be set to show speed and battery status, navigation, or driver assistance information.
Polestar vehicles also remember the settings and preferences of up to six drivers, loading the correct seating and mirror positioning, as well as cueing up the most-used apps and favorite playlists. During charging breaks, you can enjoy a wide variety of entertainment options, such as watching TV shows on Prime Video, listening to music on Tidal, or catching up on podcasts and audiobooks using apps like Sybel, Audible, and Pocket Casts.
The interface layout of Polestar's in-car entertainment systems makes using apps and car functions more intuitive. The Google Automotive Keyboard app even transforms a Polestar's touchscreen into a computer keyboard for work-related tasks while recharging or waiting.
The Google Home integration for Polestar cars was developed and maintained as part of the project managing the first Google Automotive Services head unit in production for Polestar 2 and Volvo Cars, involving GlobalLogic Sweden's automotive audio developers.
Lastly, Polestar 3 is set to offer wireless Apple CarPlay, while the Polestar 2 already supports Apple CarPlay with a wired connection. The Polestar 4 also comes with wireless Apple CarPlay connection. The head-up display beams important information in front of the driver, such as current speed, speed limit information, and turn-by-turn directions, further enhancing the driving experience.
Electric vehicle charging breaks are required less frequently than expected and take around half an hour or less, making the seamless in-car experience of Polestar even more enjoyable. With its connected and intuitive in-car systems, Polestar is truly redefining the electric vehicle landscape.
