<p>When users connect their Android phone to an Android Auto enabled vehicle, the
system shows an interface that lets users select compatible apps and services to run.
</p>
<p>Android Auto provides new APIs and tools that your existing Android apps can
leverage to run on any compatible vehicle. Users interact with your apps through the
touch screen and the physical buttons on the vehicle’s dashboard. Your apps can also
respond to voice commands.

<p>Android Auto is an extension of the Android platform. You can easily adapt
existing apps for Android Auto and reuse many of the Android APIs and services you
are already familiar with.</p>
<p>The Android Auto platform and SDK let you write your apps only once, without having
to worry about vehicle-specific hardware differences like screen resolution, software
interfaces, knobs and touch controls. Your app runs the same on any compatible
vehicle.</p>

</div>
<div class="landing-body">
<p>We designed Android Auto to minimize driver distraction. Android Auto provides UI
templates for several app categories. These templates define the user interaction model
for any app and follow international best practices for reducing driver distraction.</p>
<p>You can customize these templates to fit your brand and link them to your app’s
content and functionality, instead of building new UIs and testing them for driver
distraction, which is a lengthy and costly process.</p>
<p>Android Auto locks any device that users connect to a compatible vehicle, so drivers
interact with the device using voice actions and the vehicle’s input controls.</p>

<p>In the coming months, we’ll be releasing the Android Auto SDK, which includes APIs
and tools to make your existing apps compatible with Android Auto. The first version
of the SDK will provide templates and APIs for music, podcast, live radio, and audio
news apps, as well as limited voice actions.</p>

Future versions of the Android Auto SDK will include support for a selection of
Android notifications, additional voice actions, and templates and APIs for
messaging, communication, local search, and more.</p>
