In 2025, Google Maps is stepping up its game: the company is integrating artificial intelligence into the navigation systems of modern cars. In the coming months, Polestar 4 electric vehicle owners will be able to use the dynamic lane guidance feature, which was previously available only in premium models.
Developers note that the new technology analyzes road signs and markings in real time, using data from the vehicle’s cameras and sensors. This allows the system to instantly respond to changing road conditions and guide the driver along the optimal route, minimizing the risk of missing an exit or making an incorrect lane change.
The Polestar 4, owned by the Chinese car giant Geely, is the first model to get access to the updated version of Google Maps on the Android Automotive platform. This turns the car into a fully-fledged digital gadget on wheels, where navigation is no longer just a map but an intelligent assistant.
Drivers will receive visual and audio prompts about when to change lanes in advance—a feature especially valuable on unfamiliar routes and complex interchanges. The system takes into account not only the road layout but also the current traffic situation, analyzing traffic flow and potential obstacles.
According to Google, billions of kilometers are traveled every day around the world using their navigation service. Integrating artificial intelligence into vehicles is the next step in advancing digital technology to improve road safety and comfort.
Polestar and Google have been collaborating for several years, during which dozens of new features have been integrated into the brand’s vehicles. The introduction of AI-powered intelligent navigation continues their commitment to providing electric car drivers with the most convenient and safe user experience.
Similar solutions are expected to be adopted by other manufacturers in the near future, making artificial intelligence a standard feature in modern navigation systems. Drivers in Spain and worldwide will be able to experience the benefits of these new technologies as soon as this year.
