I’m seeing double as I cruise down the highway in a 2024 Lincoln Nautilus, a hybrid-powered SUV under Ford’s luxury brand. I have Apple Maps running on the center touchscreen, projecting from my iPhone via Apple CarPlay. I’m also seeing the same map mirrored right above, taking up about a quarter of a massive display that spans the length of the dashboard.
Technology
Ford’s new Digital Experience brings Android and Apple into balance
That screen is the 48-inch Panoramic Display, which runs on Android Automotive OS, Google’s native vehicle platform (not to be confused with the phone projecting Android Auto). It merges what’s actually two pieces of curved glass in a mesmerizing and cinematic fashion, combining the instrument cluster with infotainment and some widgets. In the Nautilus, the whole system is called the “Lincoln Digital Experience.”
But like most modern cars, former physical controls are being sucked into the digital world of the screen. To adjust airflow, I have to do the thing that many drivers dread doing: switching out of CarPlay navigation to the car’s native interface. But to my delight, as the Lincoln’s onscreen draggable digital airflow adjustment controls take over the 11.1-inch central display, Apple Maps continues to run on the Panoramic Display above.
To my delight, Apple Maps continues to run on the Panoramic Display
I start to get it. Most cars take an either-or approach with native-vs-projected operating systems. A few vehicles, like the Polestar 2, can also project Apple Maps to its instrument cluster screen. But the Lincoln’s larger, uncrowded pano display elevates the experience to the next level.
Some automakers today are in a tug of war with Apple and Google because drivers are in love with their phones and prefer to use their mobile device’s interface over the car’s factory offering. Some manufacturers have made the controversial decision to either discontinue phone projection (GM) or never add it in the first place (Rivian and Tesla). But Ford is staking out a different position: it thinks it can do both.
And to the company’s credit, I think it works. Ford is embracing customer choice, and the new Nautilus provides what I think is the best balance of phone mirroring and built-in software that we’ve seen yet.
Three years in the making
Ford’s been working on its new infotainment system for a few years now, in a search for the optimal software provider that has taken the company from Microsoft to Blackberry — and now to Google. Ford and Google struck a six-year deal in 2021 to bring Android Automotive inside “millions” of vehicles, and the Lincoln Nautilus is the first to feature the fruits of that deal.
The partnership meant Ford would use Google as its cloud provider for its connected vehicle services, promising features like Google Assistant voice control to change climate settings, automotive-approved Android apps, and over-the-air software updates.
Android gives Ford “a chance to really have a stable platform”
In an interview on Decoder, Ford CEO Jim Farley said he’d only want his teams working on navigation software if it were better than the one on smartphones. “An Android or a Google Automotive Services gives us a chance to really have a stable platform,” Farley said.
Ford is now rolling out its new Android-based “Digital Experience” across its vehicle lineup. The company’s strategy is to go big with screens in the luxury segment and pare things back in vehicles like the 2025 Explorer — while also balancing its still-supported but comparatively slow QNX-based Sync 4 system, like in the 2024 Maverick.
The computer on wheels is a smartphone
Overall, Lincoln’s Digital Experience has me believing that automakers are finally able to deliver competent and intuitive infotainment. That said, I’m still connecting my iPhone. After all, that’s kind of the point.
I get a seamless transition from Google Maps on both the center and pano screens to Apple Maps via CarPlay. I enter and exit the vehicle multiple times, and most of the time, everything immediately connects, save for some limited blacked-out center screen delays, especially when connected wirelessly. I have similar success with my Google Pixel 8 Pro projecting to the Nautilus via Android Auto. It’s kind of funny seeing Google Maps and Assistant replacing, well, Google Maps and Assistant.
My expectations are usually low with in-car software. But the Nautilus feels more like a capable, high-end Android device — and it even has Google Play Store apps. The usual suspects like Spotify and YouTube were already preinstalled, and I try a game called Asphalt Nitro 2, which performs well on the touchscreen as I swipe an autopiloting racecar in different directions. (I didn’t try playing with a Bluetooth game controller, but it’s supported.)
Games and streaming video apps only work while parked, and in the Nautilus, it works on the center touchscreen, but not on the pano display. Lincoln is including a new “pano mode” in the 2025 Navigator where games and video can work on either side of the big screen, but this function isn’t available in the Nautilus. And not all Google Play Store apps are there; I can’t download Netflix during my testing, but Amazon’s Prime Video is available, and I watched some Shah Rukh Khan Bollywood classics. (I forgot to log out, so enjoy the free movies, Lincoln.)
I played some music from Sirius XM radio and from my phone, and the 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D audio system sounds great. The music widget on the right of the pano display displays album art, and you can control the music with a nifty touchpad on the steering wheel (although, sometimes, your thumb can slip and select the wrong item on the onscreen grid, kind of like swiping on an Apple TV remote).
There’s also Google Assistant, which can accept voice commands to change car settings like in-cabin temperature but couldn’t accept simple navigation requests for some reason. Lincoln communications manager Anika Salceda-Wycoco later tells me that it was a mistake on their part because they used the same Google account across multiple cars in the fleet, and it disabled the function.
Tesla lets you type while driving but Ford doesn’t
Regardless, voice would be your only option to change destinations on the move, as the onscreen keyboard does not pop up unless you’re parked. Annoyed, I pulled over and manually typed the address to my second destination on this trip. I’ve gotten used to my Tesla Model 3’s interface, where my wife could type the address on the screen for me while in motion — but that’s not possible in the Nautilus. Siri worked fine in CarPlay mode, but I can’t ask it to do things like turn on my AC seats.
2024 tech most of the time
But not all is chummy between the Lincoln and the smartphone interfaces. They do sometimes abruptly snatch each other onscreen. For instance, calling up Google Assistant while CarPlay is running creates an ugly transition to the built-in Lincoln interface. Same for when you’re in the Lincoln interface and you’re suddenly back in CarPlay when a text message comes. The upside is I have little issue wirelessly switching from CarPlay to Android Auto. A quick jump into Bluetooth settings lets me switch between my iPhone 13 Mini and Pixel 8 Pro without hassle, which has not been my experience in other vehicles.
Coming from Tesla’s Autopilot, which flashes a blue screen when you’re not paying attention, activating BlueCruise was a little startling. After I swiped my thumb on the steering wheel’s left touchpad and selected the corresponding box for BlueCruise on the onscreen grid, the Lincoln’s instrument cluster went all blue — sharply out of sync with the tranquil theme elsewhere on the pano display.
Lincoln’s menus on the touchscreen, however, work like a breeze, with gorgeous animations running in Epic’s Unreal Engine and a powerful processor with capabilities that clearly match some gaming Android phones.
Even with all the processing power, Lincoln’s not doing too much. You’re not getting a super detailed interactive 3D model of the Nautilus you can spin around like Tesla does with its Cybertruck or colorful illustrations like inside a Rivian. But you get tasteful and swift transitions, a cool 3D whirlwind animation of passenger seats showing who hasn’t buckled up, and a futuristic PS5 aura-looking theme on the pano display.
It surprises me that the huge pano display isn’t too information-dense, and I never feel overwhelmed or annoyed with the placement of things like the fuel bar, speedometer, transmission mode, or remaining mileage (which, by the way, is often quite a lot — the Nautilus went almost 500 miles for me on one tank). And Lincoln put the display high enough that I find it less distracting than some heads-up displays I’ve seen. For some reason, though, when you accelerate, a wavy mana-looking bar increases horizontally, which almost feels like a challenge to go faster.
Beyond the screen
The real reason anyone should look at the Nautilus is the amazing pano display. The future of cars is certainly all in the software, and it feels like Ford has a good thing going, striking the best balance yet between in-car infotainment and the popular phone-based systems that most people prefer. I was pretty much sold as soon as I opened the door and it introduced me to a full Nautilus intro animation on the pano display, with waves animating to the sides and timely light streaks on the door.
The screens work well enough, but not everyone wants them. Surveys have shown growing customer dissatisfaction with in-car tech, especially touchscreen software. People are overwhelmed, and Ford’s response seems to be to add more screens, which is not a guarantee for success. I have personally owned a 2014 Lincoln MKZ hybrid and consider myself tech-savvy. Longtime Lincoln fans who appreciate more physical controls (or at least dedicated touch buttons) on previous generation models, however, could find the digital experience too overwhelming for their taste.
But if they’re not, and Lincoln customers go gaga over the new screens, Ford could have stumbled on the right formula to make it, Apple, and Google all equal winners in the race to control the in-car experience.

New features make Google’s Spanner a database for AI
Google Cloud on Thursday unveiled a series of new capabilities for its Spanner database designed to enable development and deployment of AI applications.
The new features, which the tech giant introduced during a user conference in Tokyo and are now in preview, include Spanner Graph to add graph processing, vector search and full-text search.
Spanner, which Google Cloud first made generally available as Cloud Spanner in 2017, is a multimodal database that has historically supported structured data. To develop AI models and applications, including generative AI, unstructured data is also critical.
Vector search, full-text search and graph processing all help application developers discover and operationalize unstructured data. As a result, the new capabilities — once generally available — will make Spanner an AI database in addition to its other multimodal capabilities in what is a significant move, said Kevin Petrie, an analyst at BARC U.S.
Enterprises are no longer simply combining their data with large language models to enable generative AI exploration and analysis. Instead, they are developing their own generative AI applications that work in concert with one another. That requires features such as those Google Cloud is adding to Spanner.
“Google’s announcement signals a critical trend in the market,” Petrie said. “AI is a multi-faceted, multi-model endeavor. Companies are not implementing GenAI language models or other types of models in isolation. They are building applications in which multiple models complement one another. In this context, you need an AI database.”
In addition to the new capabilities in Spanner, Google Cloud unveiled new features for its Bigtable database to aid developers as well as new pricing options for its Cloud SQL for SQL server database.
Developing an AI database
Generative AI has the potential to transform business. When combined with an organization’s proprietary data, large language models such as Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s GPT models enable users to model, query and analyze data using true natural language.
In turn, by enabling the use of natural language to work with data, generative AI lets non-technical workers who previously didn’t possess the coding skills or data literacy training to use complex analytics and data management platforms to do so. In addition, true natural language enables data experts such as developers and engineers to be more efficient by reducing coding requirements and other manual tasks that occupy much of their time.
As a result, many vendors have made it a priority to develop generative AI tools such as text-to-code translators an AI-powered assistants.
Some enterprises, however, want more. They want to develop their own generative AI applications, tools that understand their business and can be used in conjunction with one another to drive decision-making.
To do so, they not only need access to their data but also must easily and efficiently find the right data to train an individual model. That’s where databases can support AI development.
Technologies such as graph processing, vector search and text search enable data discovery for AI models and applications, which includes both structured data, such as financial records, and unstructured data, such as text, images and audio files.
In response, vector search has become a core component of many databases over the past year. AWS, Databricks and Oracle are among the many vendors that have added vector search capabilities to deliver the relevant data needed to train generative AI models and applications.
Now, Google Cloud is not just working to add vector search to its Spanner database but also doing so in concert with other technologies that make data retrieval more efficient.
Kevin PetrieAnalyst, BARC U.S.
“Operational data is critical to bridging the gap between foundation models and truly delivering the promise of AI in the enterprise,” said Andi Gutmans, Google Cloud’s general manager and vice president for databases, during a media briefing on July 26. “A big focus of ours is to enhance our databases to make sure they can deliver the best, most contextually relevant data to enterprise applications.”
Graph technology differs from traditional relational database technology by enabling data points to simultaneously connect to an unlimited number of related data points rather than just one other data point at a time. Consequently, it speeds up the discovery of data that can be used together to inform an application.
Spanner Graph is a graph processing feature designed to enable developers to use graph query language — the industry standard for graph databases — along with SQL to discover and query connected data.
Vector search, likewise, enables similarity searches to discover more than just one data point or dataset at a time that can be used to train models and applications. Full-text search enables users to simultaneously search large numbers of documents to find relevant data.
“Combining full-text search and vector similarity search capabilities makes perfect sense,” Petrie said.
One potential real-world example of an enterprise using graph processing, vector search and full-text search — also known as semantic search — within the same database to develop a AI application is customer service, he continued.
The application could be trained to find the right product guide for a customer by using keyword matching, summarize the guide using natural language and then converse with the customer with generative AI. In addition, with machine learning, the application could potentially recommend additional products based on that conversation and the customer’s purchase history.
Vespa is another database that enables multiple search types to facilitate AI development, Petrie noted.
Like Petrie, Doug Henschen, an analyst at Constellation Research, said that the additions of Spanner Graph, vector search and full-text search are important because of what they add to the database’s pre-existing multimodal capabilities.
Beyond the capabilities themselves, also important are new pricing options for Spanner that add transparency and better enable customers to control their cloud spending.
Spanner Editions provides tier-based pricing at Standard, Enterprise and Enterprise Plus levels. The new search capabilities are available to Enterprise and Enterprise Plus users, though the vendor did not publicize what it costs to use each edition.
“Spanner Graph is clearly the headline, as it fills a gap that Google had in its portfolio,” Henschen said. “But the Spanner Graph feature name falls short of telling the full story, which is that Spanner is becoming a multi-capable, high-scale database offering SQL, graph, full-text search and vector search capabilities through the new Spanner Enterprise and Enterprise Plus editions.”
In addition, by combining different search types in one service within Spanner, Google Cloud is differentiating itself from other database providers such as AWS and Oracle that separate each service within their databases, Henschen continued.
“I see it as an attractive and compelling combination of capabilities,” he said. “But there’s still room for best-of-breed Google partners, such as Neo4J which offers a dedicated graph database with vector embedding and search capabilities.”
Beyond the new search features in Spanner aimed at enabling AI development, Google Cloud also unveiled the following new database features:
- Bigtable SQL support to enable customers to use any of more than 100 SQL functions to develop applications.
- Bigtable distributed counters to simplify embedded application development.
- An Enterprise Plus edition for Cloud SQL for SQL Server that aims to provide more cost certainty for SQL Server users just as Spanner Editions does for Spanner users.
- Hosting for Oracle database services including Exadata and Autonomous database services in concert with the recent formation of a strategic partnership between Google Cloud and Oracle.
Petrie noted that the partnership between Google Cloud and Oracle is both interesting and odd given that the two are rivals. However, with Oracle likely generating most of its profit from database services rather than its cloud strategy, he said it makes sense for Oracle to enable customers to deploy databases on Google Cloud’s infrastructure.
Next steps
By adding multiple search types that turn Spanner into a database for facilitating AI development, Google Cloud is making an innovative move, according to Petrie.
“Google has a significant advantage given its massive resources and long expertise with text search and analytics,” he said.
There is, however, still room for specialized database vendors whose platforms enable customers to carry out many of the same tasks while not tying them to a single data ecosystem such as the Google Cloud Platform, he continued.
Henschen, meanwhile, said that despite what Google Cloud has done to make Spanner a database for AI development, including adding new pricing options, it has customers who use the database for reasons other than AI.
Some use the database, which provides global scalability, for its multi-region and geo-partitioning capabilities but are suddenly being classified as Enterprise Plus customers due to the amount of computational storage they use across regions, according to Henschen. As a result, those users are not served by the database’s new pricing tiers.
“I’d like to see another edition whereby customers who are only interested in Spanner for its multi-region and geo-partitioning capabilities don’t have to choose the highest-priced edition if they’re not interested in using the new graph, text-search and vector-search capabilities,” Henschen said.

A PS5 system update squashes those pesky Final Fantasy XVI bugs
Sony pushed a PS5 system update on Friday that Square Enix says is a response to Final Fantasy XVI bugs created by the console’s last firmware update. The publisher addressed the update on X (Twitter). “In response to the crashes and graphical bugs that were occurring on the PlayStation5 version of Final Fantasy XVI, [Sony Interactive Entertainment] have released a new system update,” the account posted. “Please try downloading and installing this update.”
Before today’s alleged fix, users reported that last week’s PS5 system update (24.06-10.00.00) triggered Final Fantasy XVI crashes while loading saves or fast-traveling. It could also add annoying black squares obstructing the in-game camera.
Sony has kept things vague, only describing the update with the alleged fix (24.06-10.01.00) as improving “system software performance and stability.” Earlier this week, IGN reported similar bugs in Star Wars Outlaws, Death Stranding and No Man’s Sky. It isn’t yet clear if the update fixes those games’ glitches.
Users on Reddit claimed today’s update has fixed the problems with Final Fantasy XVI. “Played for an hour post update with no issues,” u/AdSweaty411 wrote. “Yup no issues so far,” Redditor u/Icy-Confection-312 added. (We’ll update this story if any additional bug reports arise.)
You can update your PS5 by heading to Settings > System, then System Software > System Software Update and Settings. After the update appears, choose Update System Software. If you don’t see the available update (and haven’t already installed it), restart your console and try again.

Fresh leaks hint at the design of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra flagship
There’s no let up in the Samsung Galaxy S25 leaks – and there probably won’t be until the handset series gets unveiled sometime in January – and two new images have made their way online that give us some idea of the design of the Ultra version.
We’ve already heard that the Galaxy S25 Ultra is going to adopt a more rounded design next year that’s more comfortable to hold in the hand, but based on a new post from well-known tipster Ice Universe, the rear camera design won’t be changing much.
The post supposedly shows a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra case, and there are the six holes you would expect based on the design of the current model (four for the actual cameras, and a flashlight and a laser distance meter for autofocus too) – see our Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra review for details.
For reference, the Galaxy S24 Ultra comes with a 200 MP wide + 10 MP telephoto + 50 MP periscope + 12 MP ultrawide camera setup that’s capable of up to 5x optical zoom. There has been talk of upgrades to some of those cameras this year, even if this link suggests the layout is going to be pretty similar.
Another image leak
There’s more from Ice Universe to report, as the tipster has also posted a rendering showing the corner and bezel of the current Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus up against what we’re expecting from the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
It’s been rumored that Samsung is going to be able to shrink the bezels even more on next year’s handsets, and you can see that in this leaked image. You can also see the rounded design of the corners we mentioned earlier.
For comparison, you can check out leaked renders of the Galaxy S25 Ultra that have previously surfaced: not much change around the back of the handset, but an overall look and shape that’s more consistent with the other models in the series.
As is normally the case, we’ve heard more about the Ultra model that’s coming rather than the standard or Plus models. We’ve seen reports, for example, that the screen size on the Ultra model will be increased ever so slightly to 6.86 inches (up from 6.8 inches).
