| 14 | The Android platform enables you to extend your app to work with in-vehicle console systems |
| 15 | running Android Auto. These systems provide a simplified interface for apps that can be used in |
| 16 | a car, allowing users to take your app with them on the way to the grocery store or on a long |
| 17 | road trip. |
| 18 | </p> |
| 19 | |
| 20 | <p> |
| 21 | Apps that work with Android Auto consoles run on a connected device, such as a phone or |
| 22 | tablet. The app communicates via specific APIs with the in-dash console, which provides a user |
| 23 | interface for the connected app that is designed for use in a car. |
