Porsche is going to feature native Google maps in its future cars, including Maps and Assistant. Parent company Volkswagen is laying off 2,000 workers from its software division.
Porsche said today that future models would include native versions of popular Google apps, like Maps and Assistant. The German automaker is the latest to support Google built-in, enabling native Android apps with over-the-air software updates. Earlier this year, Porsche said it was considering adopting Google’s software for its in-car infotainment in a sign that parent company Volkswagen was still struggling to fix its software issues.
Apps formatted specifically for automotive use have become increasingly popular in recent years as more and more drivers expect a level of functionality and features on par with their smartphones. Similarly, setups like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto largely bypass the native car tech experience, much to the chagrin of automakers who don’t want to cede all of that to tech companies.
