    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to phasing-out of vehicle computing device versions while ensuring useful responsiveness of any vehicle computing device versions that are still in operation. Certain features of updated computing devices may not be available to prior versions of computing devices because of hardware limitations. The implementations set forth herein eliminate crashes and wasteful data transmissions caused by prior versions of computing devices that have not been, or cannot be, upgraded. A server device can be responsive to a particular intent request provided to a vehicle computing device, despite the intent request being associated with an action that a particular version of the vehicle computing device cannot execute. In response, the server device can elect to provide speech to text data, and/or natural language understanding data, in furtherance of allowing the vehicle computing device to continue leveraging resources at the server device.

    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate an automated assistant that provides suggestion elements at an OEM application and/or third-party application that is accessible via an OEM vehicle computing device, which employs restrictions on communications between local applications. The automated assistant can render suggestions via OEM vehicle applications and/or third-party applications, and initialize actions for performance via the OEM vehicle applications and/or the third-party applications—despite the limitations. The suggestions can be rendered at a graphical user interface of a vehicle, and include content that, when spoken by a user, causes the automated assistant to initialize such actions. Actions that are suggested by the automated assistant can be performed by third-party applications that are different from a third-party application that is rendering the suggestion. In this way, a common automated assistant can be indiscriminately available via various vehicle computing devices, despite differences in restrictions of communications between vehicle applications.

    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to various techniques that enable an improved automated assistant suggestion service for vehicle(s). For example, implementations can initialize and perform a recurring system health check service to ensure a connection is maintained between at least an OEM application of an in-vehicle computing device of a given vehicle and the suggestion service accessible by the in-vehicle computing device of the given vehicle. By ensuring this connection is maintained, the suggestion service is less prone to failure and suggestion(s) may still be provided in situations when the suggestion service does fail. Additionally, or alternatively, implementations can utilize a versioning API to ensure compatibility between at least the OEM application and the suggestion service. By ensuring this compatibility, the suggestion service for the vehicle(s) is more robust to version updates and the applications need not be fully compatible.
