Overview
Google Assistant Automotive allows developers to build applications optimized for use in vehicles with Android Automotive OS and Android Auto. This platform enables users to seamlessly integrate their digital lives while driving, providing access to media, communication, navigation, and other essential services. Apps are designed to be simple, consistent, and distraction-free to ensure driver safety. Developers can create media apps for music, radio, and audiobooks, communication apps for messaging and calls, templated apps for points of interest and navigation, and even parked apps for video and games. Android Automotive OS allows apps to be directly installed onto the vehicle's infotainment system, while Android Auto projects a driver-optimized version of the app from the user's phone to a compatible vehicle's console, targeting users who need connected and safe in-car experiences.
