Google Maps Live Lane Guidance Debuts on Polestar 4

A pilot uses the EV’s front camera and on‑board AI to deliver real‑time lane‑change prompts, arriving by over‑the‑air update for highway use in the US and Sweden before broader expansion.

Overview

  • Polestar becomes the first automaker to integrate Google’s live lane guidance directly into the driver display of the Polestar 4.
  • The system analyzes lane markings and road signs via the car’s front camera and feeds that data into Google Maps to issue visual and audio cues.
  • At launch it is limited to vehicles with Google built‑in running Android Automotive and will not be available on smartphones.
  • The feature renders a live lane visualization on the 10.2‑inch instrument cluster, highlighting permissible lanes and the one the car occupies.
  • Rollout begins in the coming months via OTA for highways in the US and Sweden, with plans to add more road types, markets, and automaker partners.
