The feature is launching now (November 2025). (The Verge)
Initially available in Sweden and the United States, for Polestar 4 vehicles with Google’s “Google Built-In” system. (blog.google)
The official announcement says it will roll out “in the coming months” for those markets. (Electrek)
🔧 How it works
The system uses the car’s forward-facing camera plus AI to analyse lane markings and road signs in real time. (9to5Google)
That live data is integrated into Google Maps (within the car via Android Automotive / Google Built-In) to figure out exactly which lane the vehicle is in and which lane it should be in for upcoming exits. (9to5Google)
It provides both visual cues (on the driver display) and audio prompts to encourage timely lane changes, thereby reducing missed exits and last-minute merges. (Electrek)
🧭 Why it matters
For a driver in Sweden (or the US) in a Polestar 4, this means the navigation system doesn’t just show the exit—it shows the lane.
It aligns with Polestar’s focus on driver-centred UX, aiming to reduce stress and improve safety by avoiding last-second maneuvers. (Electrek)
From a tech perspective it’s a step up: vehicle navigation systems often show which lane to use, but this integrates camera + AI + lane-level positioning in real time. (9to5Google)
