Google Maps Brings AI-Powered Live Lane Guidance to Polestar 4

Camera-derived lane cues feed Google Maps for clearer in-dash guidance.

Overview

  • The rollout starts on Polestar 4 in the United States and Sweden in the coming months.
  • The system taps the car’s front-facing camera, with AI reading lane markings and road signs to inform navigation in real time.
  • Drivers will see eligible lanes highlighted in blue on the dashboard and receive audio and visual prompts to merge in time for exits.
  • The capability runs natively in Google Maps on Android Automotive, reflecting deeper use of vehicle sensors over phone-based navigation.
  • Google says it will extend the feature to more road types and additional vehicles through partnerships with other automakers.
