Google Maps Launches AI Live Lane Guidance in Cars, First on Polestar 4

Availability is restricted to Google Built-In vehicles due to the system’s need for direct access to onboard hardware.

Overview

  • The feature uses a forward-facing camera and AI to detect lane markings and traffic signs in real time.
  • Google Maps fuses these visual inputs with navigation data to highlight the current lane and indicate the correct one for the route.
  • Polestar will roll out the capability to the Polestar 4 via an over-the-air update in the coming months in the United States and Sweden.
  • The function is not available on smartphone Maps, Android Auto, or Apple CarPlay at launch.
  • Google and Polestar signal expansion to more markets, road types, and models later, with no schedule yet for Germany.
