Last month saw the release of theGoogle Pixel 7andGoogle Pixel 7 Pro,Google’s new flagship mobile phones. After receiving a swathe of negative press prior to being launched, the Pixel 7 range showed that the real magic of Google’s innovation comes in their software.

Beyond the user interface, the Pixel devices are built with AI and Machine Learning processes in mind, which can understand your behaviours and adapt to improve things like battery life.

The two companies describe working on a “Digital Twin” with advanced AI capabilities, to make the process of integrating new services easier. It will also aid the creation of “new onboard and offboard applications.”

According to Renault, the collaboration will “reduce costs, improve efficiency, flexibility, and speed of vehicle developments, and increase value for end-users thanks to continuous software innovation.”

The main outcomes for the project include the detection, and possibly even repair, of issues within the vehicle, a personalised experience that can adapt to how you drive and even insurance models that are based on data from your actual usage, rather than outdated metrics.

That last one could be a golden ticket for Renault. Being able to offer personalised insurance premiums will appeal to a wide cross-section of drivers, who feel they are unfairly penalised for one or more things like age or mileage, despite their safety on the road.

I’d hope that the integration of Google’s AI and Machine Learning capabilities can be leveraged to increase the battery efficiency. Modern EVs are already equipped with a host of tech, but an AI that can learn your driving style and adapt to make power consumption as efficient as possible based on that could be a masterstroke.
