| 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. |
