Google Maps Working On Adding Language Changer Assistant Driving Mode Still In The Works

For starters, the teardown revealed strings referring to a feature that will allow users to change the interface language in Google Maps. This is a feature that’s currently available in the web version of Google Maps, so it won’t be entirely surprising to see it make its way over to smartphones. Other strings spotted in the code mention the Assistant Driving Mode itself, and the good folks over at XDA were able to extract screenshots of the new driving mode, or at least the onboarding process for it.
