Google Assistant Basics

The Sensus infotainment system by Volvo plans to incorporate the ultra powerful Google voice-activated Google Assistant into its platform, and so far it looks like that's exactly what is going to happen. Google Assistant is generally well-known to the public. Tell Google what you want it to do in your home, and it'll do it. For example, you can have it dim the lights in your bedroom or adjust the temperature on your thermostat. The Assistant will be performing all new functions in the Volvo that are specific to your driving experience.

Volvo is not unaware of its cars' hesitation when accelerating, which is why the brand has created and introduced its PowerPulse feature.

If you are buying a new car, you likely want to know if your vehicle comes with a warranty, and if it does, what that warranty covers.
