HUMMER EV's tech will be powered by Android Automotive OS

GMC used the Google I/O conference to announce that the 2022 GMC HUMMER EV will have “Google Built-In” and will be powered by Android Automotive OS.
Android Automotive features Google Assistant voice commands, Google Maps navigation, and the Play Store for third-party apps. Car makers can customize the UI anyway they see fit, while Google handles the underlying OS and functionality.
Unlike Android Auto, which is powered by a connected smartphone and merely projected onto the dashboard screen, Android Automotive OS lives in the dashboard and is powered by the vehicle's hardware. In the Hummer's case, that means a 13.4-inch central infotainment display and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster powered by some seriously beefy silicon.
Beyond the Hummer, Google promises that we'll see more than 10 vehicles globally powered by Android Automotive OS from Volvo, General Motors and Renault. Android Automotive OS can currently be found powering the dashboards of the Polestar 2 and Volvo XC40 Recharge electric vehicles.
GMC didn’t elaborate beyond providing the video above. What do you think this means? Is Google Built In a great feature?
