"It's become an unfortunate norm among automakers to promise new features first and then deliver them weeks or months later via software updates. And the execution is often lousy and imperfect. But Google's software prowess and the established Android Automotive OS ecosystem mean the upcoming 2026 Polestar 4 might skip the sluggishness of these over-the-air software updatesand vastly improve navigation. The electric coupe-shaped crossover will debut Google's new Live Lane Guidance system for the first time in any vehicle."
""The feature detects which lane the car is in by using Google's advanced AI in the vehicle to analyze elements on the road, like lane markings and road signs, captured by one of the forward-facing cameras in Polestar 4," Polestar officials said. In theory, it sounds genuinely useful. The system will generate a live visualization on the 10.2-inch instrument cluster, helping drivers stay in the correct lane when road layouts get complicated."
Automakers often promise features before delivering them via delayed and imperfect over-the-air updates. Google's software capabilities and the Android Automotive OS ecosystem enable the 2026 Polestar 4 to potentially avoid sluggish OTA rollouts and enhance navigation. Live Lane Guidance uses onboard AI and a forward-facing camera to analyze lane markings, road signs, and other road elements to determine the vehicle's lane. The system generates a live visualization on the 10.2-inch instrument cluster and issues audio and visual alerts when drivers stray from the correct lane. Mixing camera input with AI supplements GPS and can help in areas with poor satellite signals or complex road layouts.
