Nissan Rogue Now Featuring Google's Android Automotive System and Google Assistant Integration
The automotive world is abuzz with excitement as Nissan prepares to unveil the 2024 Rogue, a vehicle that promises to revolutionise in-car technology.
One of the most notable features of the 2024 Rogue is its high-definition 12.3-inch touchscreen, boasting computing power similar to that of a smartphone. This advanced system, designed to accommodate future features and updates, has left engineers scratching their heads during testing, as they found it challenging to reach its limits.
Navigating the roads has never been easier, thanks to the Rogue's built-in Google Maps. The team has eliminated the need to verify map data against real-world locations, as the system is always up-to-date, providing accurate navigation directions.
But the 2024 Rogue offers more than just navigation. Drivers can access personalised traffic updates, recommendations based on their calendar, and even speak addresses in plain English to find their destination. The Google Assistant, expected to eliminate many voice recognition frustrations, allows drivers to ask questions about destinations, search for generic points of interest, and even operate certain vehicle functions using voice commands.
The 2024 Rogue also offers smart home integration, enabling drivers to adjust compatible devices like lights, thermostats, and appliances using the Google Assistant.
The 2024 Rogue is set to hit the market later this winter, with a starting Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $28,320. For those seeking a more premium experience, the Rogue SL and Platinum models will feature class-exclusive Google built-in with Google Assistant, Google Maps, and more on Google Play.
Nissan's engineers have tested most smartphones to ensure compatibility with the Rogue's infotainment system. Interestingly, during testing, they carry two devices - one Apple and one Android - to ensure compatibility with a wide range of phones.
Cities like Chicago and Los Angeles have been critical locations for Nissan engineers to test vehicle navigation systems. Chicago's complex road network, in particular, has provided a challenging yet valuable testing ground.
The 2024 Rogue's navigation system is designed to work without the need for a phone to be connected via USB or Bluetooth. Additionally, third-party apps downloaded to the Rogue's infotainment system from the Play Store are seamlessly updated over the air.
Under the leadership of manager Takashi Sato, Nissan continues to push the boundaries of in-car technology, aiming to provide drivers with a seamless, intelligent, and enjoyable driving experience. The 2024 Rogue is a testament to this commitment, promising to redefine what we expect from our vehicles.
