Google is working on a very sophisticated and cool feature in the Pixel phone series called Adaptive Touch. With this new technology, touch screen sensitivity will be adjusted according to environmental and conditional factors. For instance, the phone would recognize wet fingers on a rainy day or gloved hands and adjust its touch response accordingly.
Rain or gloves! It does not matter!
Whether it be the rains or with gloves, it doesn't matter!
Many a time a Google Pixel user would complain that the screen does not respond well enough when the person is in gloves or if there is water on his finger. To fix this, Google brings Context-Aware Touch Sensitivity.

Touchscreen of Google Pixel unresponsiveness will be less.
Using a phone outdoors, in winter, or in fog, will be eased.
The smartness of the phone and its usability will, in fact, increase a lot.
