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.
