It is now possible to obtain your current location indoors,
Android Pie makes it possible to pinpoint your current location even indoors, where GPS accuracy drops drastically! RTT (WiFi Round-Trip-Time) is used for indoor positioning.
Apps running on the device use the RTT API to measure the distance to nearby access points. Accuracy varies depending on the number of access points used, but if the distance to three or more access points is known, it is possible to pinpoint your location with an accuracy of about 1 to 2 meters. There
is no need to set up a cumbersome access point like with Wi-Fi, but to protect privacy, distance measurement is only possible from your smartphone.
This allows you to receive location-based information such as indoor navigation and "Would you like to take advantage of this product's special offer?"!
"Adaptive Battery & Adaptive Brightness" uses self employed database AI technology to extend battery life
For people like me who never let go of their smartphones for even a moment, the most important thing is battery life!
Android Pie has a feature called "Adaptive Battery" that improves battery life by optimizing the prioritization of system resources.
This function uses AI technology developed in collaboration with DeepMind, an artificial intelligence (AI) development company known for developing the Go AI "AlphaGo."
In addition, a new feature called "Adaptive Brightness" will be introduced, which automatically adjusts the brightness of the smartphone using AI.
The previous automatic adjustment tended to be a bit slow, so I'm excited about this speedup!

Notification muting powered by machine learning
In Android Pie, if a user repeatedly deletes notifications from the same app without opening them, the app will ask if they want to mute the notifications.
In Settings > Apps & Notifications > Notifications, you can see how often each app shows you notifications, and mute (or unmute) them individually!
Which could not be obtained using GPS
