Google Maps on Android Auto is getting smarter about using all your vehicle's screens
TL;DR Google Maps has recently started offering a navigation pop-up on select instrument cluster displays. So far this has been spotted on the Polestar 2. We previously saw Waze delivering a similar behind-the-wheel view. How many digital screens can you see right this second? From our phones, to computers, to TVs and smart home hubs, our lives our just jam-packed with displays vying for our attention. And while that can easily start to get pretty overwhelming, this kind of preponderance of screens can also work to our benefit — if and when apps and services are making smart decisions about what to show, where. Right now, Google's working on pushing out just such an improvement to Android Auto. Just like so many other places in our lives, cars have been doubling down on their interest in screens in recent years. Beyond just offering one main screen on which we could interact with the car's own OS or use something like Android Auto, it's increasingly common to find vehicles that have additional display beyond that, with one especially popular option being a virtual instrument cluster display that lives right behind your steering wheel. Earlier this year we saw Waze learning to expand its navigation guidance to those cluster screens, and now we're learning about some similar efforts from Google Maps. Running Android Auto version 14.3.651844 on a Galaxy S25, 9to5Google reports that the Polestar 2 is now able to display Google Maps navigation data as a pop-up on its behind-the-wheel screen. This is distinct from the range and ETA view previously available through the car's Android Automotive interface. While this kind of functionality still appears to be incredibly limited across vehicles supporting Android Auto, that's a situation we only expect to get better, and it's nice to hear that Google's working to keep up with these trends. Placing navigation info front-and-center like this feels like a smart way to ensure that it's always easily within a driver's sight lines, helping to minimize distraction. That said, all this does feel a bit like a work in progress, and 9to5Google notes that the current implementation risks obscuring map detail with this pop-up in a way that could theoretically impair navigation. Hopefully we'll see Google play around a little more with its layout as we see this kind of view expand to more vehicles. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Elon Musk Claims 'Corruption' Over New Jersey Decommissioning Superchargers
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Elon Musk, the CEO of multiple companies including Tesla, just supposedly exited his time attempting to gut the U.S. government. Days later the black-eyed (literally) executive is accusing a government-run agency of corruption. On Friday, the Tesla Charging (formerly known as Twitter) account posted that the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) will not allow the automaker to 'co-locate' its chargers with other types of charges. Further, according to the Tesla-owned account, the NJTA asked the automaker to decommission 64 existing Supercharger stalls. Musk responded to a post on the social media platform, which he owns, stating, 'sounds like corruption.' Elon Musk Claims Corruption by NJTA on The NJTA issued a statement on Friday stating the New Jersey Turnpike will transition to 'Universal Open Access EV chargers on June 6.' Those chargers will be provided solely by Applegreen Electric, and are said to be compatible with all makes and models of EVs. The NJTA did not mention whether the new chargers will use CCS or NACS ports, nor did it mention charging output or how many chargers are coming online. PlugShare reveals that the Vince Lombardi Service Station charger is operational already with seven CCS plugs and 1 NACS plug. Tesla's post said the automaker has been preparing for this for three years by building 116 charging stalls along the New Jersey Turnpike that would serve as replacements to the 64 being decommissioned. Tesla claimed in the post that it offered the NJTA 'above-market commercial terms,' which included offering to build Superchargers at the New Jersey service plaza with equipment upgrades. The claimed upgrades would have included Superchargers with screens and NACS cables equipped with CCS1 'magic docks' (Tesla's adapter for NACS to CCS1). The removal of Superchargers, which are known to be the most reliable of the charging networks in the U.S. market today, seems at odds with New Jersey's EV adoption goals. The state plans to have all new car sales be zero-emissions by 2035, which is a plan that was announced in 2023. Got a tip? Email us at tips@

For Toyota, More Akio Would Be a Good Thing
Akio Toyoda, the scion of Toyota Motor Corp.'s founding family and former chief executive officer, generally seems to prefer being behind the wheel of a car than being in the spotlight. But with the $33 billion buyout of Toyota Industries Corp. announced on Tuesday, along with his personal investment, he might be making a corporate comeback. That would be a good thing, regardless of what the critics say.
