After teasing the news for the second straight year at Google I/O, Volvo is close to becoming the first company to sell a car that features Android Auto without requiring a phone. The difference this year is that we finally got to try it out.

Volvo showcased an XC40 running the new version of its Sensus infotainment system, which is now built on top of Android P. It features an updated UI with four menu bars that you can slide to reveal more control modules. There’s also a built-in Google Assistant button on the steering wheel, which you can use to ask the system to play music, perform search queries, look up directions, or adjust the cabin temperature.
