  • Google has announced support for Android Auto incident reports within Maps, finally.
  • However, it is only available in India, at least for now.
  • Hopefully, it will make its way to the US soon, as it has been a highly requested feature for years.

Android Auto is a terrific tool for using your phone’s features safely while you drive. With Android Auto, you can initiate navigation, send text messages, listen to music, and make phone calls without ever needing to remove your hands from the steering wheel or look over at your car’s infotainment display.

However, one feature that’s been notably absent from Android Auto has been the ability to send incident reports within Google Maps. Although Waze supports this (which is also a Google product), the Android Auto interface of Maps does not. In order to send an incident report in Maps, you need to use the phone app, which is obviously very dangerous while driving. Hence, most people don’t do it. For years now, this has been one of the most-requested features missing from Android Auto.

Y, todo parece indicar, que en esta oportunidad presenciaremos su desenlace definitivo. El Gobierno del microestado situado entre Francia y España ha acordado que cualquier persona que desee obtener o renovar el permiso de residencia deberá demostrar un nivel mínimo del mencionado idioma. Cabe señalar que este requisito ahora incluye a los creadores de contenidos. Hace algunos meses se había considerado excluir a este creciente grupo de residentes fiscales , principalmente porque por su actividad no trabajan directamente en el país. Sin embargo, esta idea ha quedado en el pasado. Si el proyecto se convierte en ley, deberán cumplir con la normativa para poder seguir viviendo en el principado. Los youtubers deberán

Meanwhile, open sales for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold are said to begin on September 4, while those for the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are said to begin on September 26. The Made by Google 2024 event is right around the corner, and we’re expecting to see Google unveil the Pixel 9 series , including the Pixel 9 Pro Fold (previously presumed to be called the Pixel Fold 2). While Google has confirmed the name and design of the phones, and the event has been confirmed for August 13, 2024, it seems that customers will have to wait a while before they can get their hands on the phone, especially with the new foldable.
