Volvo’s XC40 will run Native Android Auto

From The Verge’s review:

It wasn’t an obvious choice: Volvo is a luxury marque, and Android is closely associated with mass-market phones. Still, Green calls the collaboration between the two companies “the perfect match.”

It’s not an obvious choice maybe, but it certainly has obvious advantages. The native Android Auto infotainment system means the XC40 Recharge can receive over-the-air software updates. So while the car’s driver-assist system isn’t nearly as advanced as Tesla’s Autopilot or GM’s Super Cruise, it can get better once Volvo develops the right software. And then it can simply push out an update to its entire fleet.
