Android Auto is contextually aware.

So basically, Google is naming everything Android[whatever it is] now. AndroidWear. AndroidAuto. Etc.

AndroidAuto

by seth.rosenblatt via CNET 6/25/2014 5:17:21 PM
They're calling it Android Auto, not Auto Link, which was the original name for the platform.

by Tim Stevens via CNET 6/25/2014 5:17:16 PM
Android Auto: Android platform for cars, except it's safe for driving. Puts navigation, communication, music, and other apps front and center. Contextually aware and voice enabled--keep your eyes on the road!

Patrick Brady, director of engineering for Android now onstage

Time to talk about Android in the car!

by Tim Stevens via CNET 6/25/2014 5:15:57 PM
The Samsung Gear Live is the watch that CNET News' Shara Tibken broke word of last week.

Lots of sad voices here in the room at the news the Moto 360 is coming later this summer.

Honestly though, I don't know why Android Wear often has this silly wallpaper on it, when all of the information comes through on a card--what's essentially a word bubble--that takes up 80% of the screen anyway.

LG G Watch will be available to order later today on the Play store.

All the Cooks app lets you check recipes on your wrist. (Android Wear devices are water resistant.) http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bq_d8wBCcAAL6f5.jpg

Did someone not get the memo?

by Tim Stevens via CNET 6/25/2014 5:14:28 PM
With integration of ridesharing app Lyft, the smartwatch wearer can say: "OK Google, call me a car." Shows car ETA and traffic. Also allows riders to rate from the watch screen.

by James Martin via CNET 6/25/2014 5:14:24 PM
Weird that Lyft is the "call a car" demo, given Google's investment in Uber.

"We're just getting started with this, but we're making voice available for some key actions today, and we'll be adding more in the coming months." - Voice could be the killer implementation, here, if people can get used to talking to their watch.

by Tim Stevens via CNET 6/25/2014 5:13:56 PM
Now we're seeing a recipe app that sends step-by-step instructions to your watch. Each step gets a screen, and you swipe to get to the next step. I'm a skeptic about smart watches, but I'll admit, this looks so much better than using a tablet in the kitchen.
