Google adds a very futuristic new feature in Android Auto but not for everyone

The intention of the Sundar Pichai company is that we can pay for gasoline from the car itself through a voice command, intervening Android Auto and Google Pay. This is how it will work.

The search for the smart car is something that requires years and, above all, trial and error. Since many advances do not fit into the motor world and vice versa.

That a car is electric seems a step that we already have completely mastered, now we are going for autonomous cars, which are resisting a little more, and along the way we have turned our vehicles into smart rooms thanks to our mobile.

Android Auto is responsible for equipping to our car of certain intelligence, and although its options are limited on a day-to-day basis, it is of great help: it looks for the best route home, selects our music list and allows us to call while we drive.

Well, following that path between true intelligence ( that will come with Automotive ) and practicality, the folks at Google are testing a new feature that would allow us to pay for gas without even getting out of the car.

The idea is that drivers, once they have refueled, can give it a Voice command to your car with Android Auto, so that the Google assistant does the rest . As just saying “ Hey Google, pay for gas ” would start the process, the next step being to say the pump number aloud .

That way we would be charged the amount of the refueling without having to get out of the car, or use the card. All this it would work thanks to Google Play, the Google Assistant and Android Auto, so it would remain within the Android ecosystem .

What you should know is that This new feature is not available globally, only in the United States. And of course, it would only be offered through a series of very specific gas stations , which have agreed to participate in the experiment.

The long-term objective is to expand their availability, so we should not be surprised if in a couple of years we begin to be able to pay for gasoline in Spain from the same driver’s seat.

Bang & Olufsen Beosound Explore outdoor dedicated

喜歡「野外露出」的朋友,可能會考慮去郊外野餐,有車的話甚至來一晚「車中泊」,晚上搭起帳篷邊飲邊傾,再加上近期開始有些秋意,更見舒適。想有更舒適的氛圍當時會播播歌,如此一來一個既耐用,又防塵防水的喇叭就是必備品,Bang & Olufsen 的 Beosound Explore 揚聲器正是為此而來。 Bang & Olufsen 的產品一向以北歐簡約設計加上充足機能性為主軸,Beosound Explore 就用上圓柱形加上橫向坑紋設計,簡單又型格,而且圓柱設計也方便握於手中隨時搬動。今次評測 Beosound Explore 的顏色為綠色(另有黑色及霧灰色可選擇),原來該色靈感來自北歐景觀中常見的峽灣、冰川及森林所顯現出來的顏色,相當有意思。 機頂按鍵為輕觸式設計。為了滿足用戶在不同的戶外環境中使用, Beosound Explore 使用了 Type 2 陽極氧化鋁外殼,更於 Bang & Olufsen 位於丹麥斯特魯爾( Struer )的 Factory 5 進行組裝。在陽極氧化處理下,外殼可有效抵禦各種戶外環境帶來的影響,更為耐用,亦令這個看似有點重量的喇叭輕巧至只重 631g 。  Beosound Explore 機身具備 IP67 防水防塵機能,加上喇叭上有掛帶及可扣上爬山扣,方便攜帶,如勾在背囊上,到目的地時也可勾在不同的支架上(甚至樹上)使用。 機身附帶掛帶,可以輕鬆勾在不同地方使用。附送爬山扣,例如可扣在背囊上方便攜帶。 喇叭最重要的還是聲音表現, Beosound Explore 內置兩個 1.8 吋全頻單元,廠方稱可輸出 59dB 的低音。實測播歌效果的確不錯,低頻能量足,中高頻也清晰,當然亦可透過專屬程式調校 EQ 令效果更合自己心水。由於 Beosound Explore 是 360 度發聲,將喇叭放於中間播歌,稍為推高音量已非常夠聲,多人戶外聚會想一齊聽歌,放在中間就可以。 小結 Beosound Explore 有高質感亦具備 IP67 防水防塵機能,最重要的聲音質素相當不錯,定價 $1,898 而且有兩年保養下,入手一個在家用時也可去 Camp 用,是很好的選擇。 PCM Rating:4/5 分 Bang & Olufsen Beosound Explore Spec. 連接:Bluetooth 5.2、USB-C體積:124 ×81 x81mm重量:631g(不連扣環)其他:IP67 防水防塵查詢:B&O (2918…
