Reinventing the wheel: Google tech gets clunky

One one hand the Swedes have an insistence on doing things their own way; they’re not afraid to do anything remarkably different to the innumerable German, American and Asians vehicles on the road.

The most obvious is that you don’t have to connect your phone. Rather, the setup uses its own internet connection and prompts you to set up a profile — or link an existing Google account. With your profile making permanent camp in the vehicle, it is able to not only remember your preferences but also interact with your applications. When the need for a service arrives, for instance, the appointment will be seamlessly slotted into your calendar.

Even if we move past those issues there’s still the elephant sitting in the parking lot. In 2022, when the previously mentioned car apps are better than ever, do we really need this? We’re in the nascency of this technology. The engineers will no doubt streamline it and you wouldn’t bet against Volvo having the last laugh when they get it right. But for now that can only be a consolation.
