As reported by the FRSC, approximately 10 percent of all deadly vehicle crashes are caused by distracted driving—and 14 percent of those are specifically caused by cell phone use.

With this sort of risk, a solution like the Google Assistant could significantly lessen your risk of causing significantly in due to your telephone.

We will talk about how the Google Assistant can enable you to deal with every one of the distractions people feel the need to do with their telephone while driving.

#1. Searching for and Playing Music


Nowadays, the vast majority play music in their cars from their phones. Want to play music from your telephone to your car’s stereo? Here are all the options for you and how to pick the best possible way for you.
The Google Assistant makes the way toward launching a song as straightforward as asking out loud. All you need to do to get this done is set up your favorite music service in Google Assistant:

2. Click the three-spot Menu button and then choose Settings.
3. Select the Music
4 your favorite music service and set it as the default.
That is all that it takes. Whenever you want to listen to music in your car, simply say “OK Google play” [album, artist, playlist or song].

#2. Checking and Sending Messages

Typing a text message is a standout amongst the most hazardous ways to use your telephone while driving. Generally your attention is on writing for any longer than five seconds.

Google Assistant makes it to extreme simple to send an instant message to anybody in your contact list by saying “OK Google, send a message to [the person contact name]”.

The name of the contact that you called ought to match a single contact in your contact list. In the event that there are different people with a similar name, you’ll need to tap the name you need, so try to ensure all contacts have a particular name.
Google Contacts is maybe the least organized of all Google services we use today. The majority of us neglect it.

Google Assistant will call up another window and request that you speak your message. It’ll at that point type it for you and then send it off. You don’t need to look at your telephone once.

You can likewise have your most five recent text messages read to you clear and loud. Simply say, “OK Google, shown to me my last text messages.” Google Assistant will at that point walk you through your messages this way:

1. Assistant will reads the name of the sender to you and asks for, “Would you like to hear it, reply, or skip it?”
2. If you say “hear it,” The Google Assistant will read the message to you.
3. If you say “hear it,” The Google Assistant will read the message to you.
4. If you say “reply” Assistant will enable you to speak your response and the message will automatically send.
And if you say “skip it,” The Google Assistant will proceed to the next sender and repeat.

So whenever you hear that “ding” of an incoming message, simply rely on Assistant to get you updated. Keep your hands on the car wheel and focus your eye on the road.

#3. Making Phone Calls

According to the National Traffic Safety Institute, drivers making telephone calls while driving are four times more inclined to get into a car accident that could prompt serious death or injury.
In the event that there’s an emergency or you have no options about making a telephone to call, do not pick up your telephone to start dialing. That increases your chances of having an accident significantly. Rather, just say “OK Google, call [contact name].”

Remember that holding a telephone conversation is as yet a form of distracted driving. It isn’t so perilous as holding your telephone and typing, however it’s as still demonstrated to decrease your reaction time while driving.

On the off chance that it a must for you to make a call while driving, to do it using the Google Assistant, and do as such sparingly.

#4. Launching GPS Navigation


Google Maps is another of the numerous Google services that’s integrated with Assistant. There’s no reason that you have to type addresses into Google Maps while you’re driving.

Like any other tasks we’ve already mentioned, Google Assistant makes it simple to find your direction anywhere. Leave your telephone in the support The Best Car Phone Holders to Mount Your Android or iPhone. A car phone holder gives you a chance to keep your telephone in view while driving, giving you simple access to GPS, music, and many more. Simply ask it that how to get to your destination with a “Navigation to [the location]” command.

Google Assistant will find the business or address you’ve stated, and open up that route automatically in navigation view. The key here is to ensure you start your statement with “navigate.” You should be ensured that the location name is something Google can identify in your local area.

It’s important to always keep your eyes on the road and also your hands on the steering wheel while driving.

Most of us do it but it's not good, very bad. Little distractions are the causes of many accidents that have led to deaths, disabilities and many more.

All this internet sales persons try to earn a living by advertising google assistance. A very annoying app that interrupt phone and disrupt activities.

Somethings sound nice but not in reality. Ever tried telling Google assistant to call Ochuko, Osarieme Danladi, Olumuyiwa and Chinecherem?

Like if it was successful and share if it wasn't.

The disadvantage of Google assistant is that you still have to press the microphone button before saying anything. That doesn't help driving.

The sad reality is that Google assistant is not half as smart and responsive as Apple's Siri. That one is an antity on its own.

I wonder why Google won't upgrade. It pains me.
