«Ok Google! You will remain without a Porsche 911! „- Not surprising when negotiations of Porsche and Google have begun with a similar phrase. The fact is that in a Porsche flatly refused to install the system on an updated Android Auto 911 sports car.
The reason is that too many Google requested data including vehicle speed, engine speed, throttle position, oil temperature and coolant etc. In turn, in a Porsche decided that this data can help Google to improve their future car, which means that they are competitors.
As a result, the 911 is equipped with a new multimedia system with Apple CarPlay function to integrate gadgets with the operating system iOS.
It is unlikely that future owners of 911 very upset, because the main feature of the car is not in mobile applications. Recall that the Carrera got a twin-turbo engine with 370 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, and the Carrera S will give out 420 hp and 500 Nm.
P. S. Google has already made a statement on this occasion: «Let's face it — we're serious about privacy and do not collect the data referred to in the material Motor Trend: throttle position, the temperature of the oil and coolant. Users can select what information to share with the Android Auto, to make driving more comfortable and make navigation via GPS more accurate. »
As Google also explained that the system collects location data from the GPS in the car, because the way to determine the location better than a cell phone. Also Android Auto detects when the car is in motion, and when — on the parking lot, and depending on the position of displays includes a keyboard or voice control.
