The Android platform enables you to extend your app to work with in-vehicle console systems
|
|
running Android Auto. These systems provide a simplified interface for apps that can be used in
|
|
a car, allowing users to take your app with them on the way to the grocery store or on a long
|
|
road trip.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Apps that work with Android Auto consoles run on a connected device, such as a phone or
|
|
tablet. The app communicates via specific APIs with the in-dash console, which provides a user
|
|
interface for the connected app that is designed for use in a car.
