Android Auto Update to Bring Smart Replies Feature, Digital Car Key, Always-On Music Button, More

Android Auto will soon get a series of new features in future updates. After the update is released, users will have the option to use the touch screen in the vehicle to quickly reply to messages. Early Android Auto users could only choose to reply to messages with voice. In addition, Google also announced that Android Auto can now be set to start automatically, and users can use their Android smartphones to lock, unlock and even open compatible BMW cars. These changes and other new features for the entire Android platform were announced on Wednesday.

In the latest post on the Keyword blog about Android-based updates, Google announced that it will add some features to Android Auto to improve its in-car application. One of these includes the ability to reply to a text message via an on-screen message prompt or by creating a custom response. This smart reply feature will be launched soon and will use Google Assistant to make better replies.

In addition, Android Auto will also get an always-on music playback button. This will always be visible and will be placed on the home screen. Another feature that Google will add to its car app is the ability to search for music from any media app in Android Auto through the user’s voice. “Just tap the new search icon and say your favorite artist or song to listen to it easily,” the blog post mentioned.

Another feature that Android Auto users in some countries/regions will like is the ability to lock, unlock, and start compatible BMW cars. Known as a digital car key, it is currently only available for Google Pixel 6, Google Pixel 6 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S21. It is worth noting that Apple also introduced the digital car key function for the iPhone last year, and started to introduce it for the new iPhone earlier this year.

Currently, Apple’s digital car keys are limited to certain luxury cars. As mentioned earlier, the latest Android Auto feature is released along with other new features of the Android platform, including family bell reminders via Google Assistant, the new Google Photos feature, etc.

Tom Holland to star alongside Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan’s next, will juggle that with Spider-Man 4 in 2025

Tom Holland, last seen in Apple TV show The Crowded Room last year, has signed his next with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
