+
+<p>When designing support for Android Auto in your app, avoid driver distraction above all else.
+ Apps that work with the Auto user interface should minimize distractions faced by the driver
+ through best practices such as voice commands and very simple visual design.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ Great auto experiences are predictive and predictable. Apps that support Android Auto
+ should show timely information to the driver only when it is relevant, and use
+ simple, predictable patterns for common tasks.
+</p>
+
+<p class="caution">
+ <strong>Important:</strong> The criteria listed in this page apply to your app's user interface
+ and behavior when running on devices connected to an Android Auto screen. Apps must meet these
+ criteria to qualify as an Android Auto app on Google Play.

+<div class="headerLine">
+ <h2 id="core">
+ Core App Quality
+ </h2>
+
+<p>
+ In addition to the Auto-specific criteria listed below, Auto apps should meet all relevant core app
+ quality criteria for the Android platform, as detailed in the
+ <a href="{@docRoot}distribute/essentials/quality/core.html">Core App Quality</a> criteria. Test
+ your app against those criteria to ensure that they meet Android standards for navigation and
+ design. Then test your app against all Auto-specific criteria, keeping in mind
+ that, when running on a device connected to Android auto, your app must meet the requirements
+ listed in this page.
+
+
+
+<div class="headerLine">
+ <h2 id="ux">
+ Visual Design and User Interaction
+ </h2>
+
+</div>
+
+<p>
+ These criteria ensure that your app follows critical design and interaction patterns
+ to ensure a consistent, intuitive, and enjoyable user experience on Android Auto. Many elements,
+ such as the navigation drawer, card backgrounds, fonts and icon colors, are set and rendered by
+ the system. Your own app-specific design elements must meet the following criteria.

+ <strong>After I submit my app, how will find out if my app does not meet all
+ the requirements for Android Auto?</strong>
+</p>
+<p>If you are planning to develop apps for Auto, you are encouraged to begin enabling and testing
+ your apps now. However, Auto-enabled apps cannot be published at this time. Join the
+ <a href="http://g.co/AndroidAutoDev" class="external-link">Auto
+ Developers Google+ community</a> for updates on when you will be able to submit
+ your Auto-enabled apps.</p>
+</p>
+
+
+<p style="margin-top:30px;">
+ <strong>My app targets more than just Android Auto. If my app does not meet the Auto
+ requirements, will my new or updated app still appear on Google Play for phones and
+ tablets?</strong>
+</p>
+<p>
+ No. When Google begins the approval process, your auto app will undergo a driver safety
+ review, and will not be
+ available for distribution until the app is approved. Because this is the same APK as
+ for phones and tablets, your Play Store updates for those devices will not be available until the
+ Auto approval process is complete.
+</p>
+
+<p class="caution">
+ <strong>Important:</strong> Due to this restriction, you should not use your production APK
+ for Auto support prototyping.
