Google introduced the Android Auto platform more than two years ago. It was developed as an integrated operating system for cars to solve navigation, information and entertainment tasks.
During its existence, it has been equipped with more than 200 models of cars from 50 different companies, and their number is increasing daily. However, not only owners of expensive modern cars want to be able to use this system. Therefore, today Google announced that it is making Android Auto available to everyone.
This means that now any car owner can install a special program on his gadget (Android 5.0 and higher) and use all the functions of Android Auto — navigation, music, communication — during trips.
The Android Auto program allows you to use your favorite applications and services in a single interface, specially designed for convenient control while driving. You will be able to listen to music from Spotify, Pandora or Google Play Music, make calls and send messages using voice commands and, of course, receive accurate navigation tips from Google Maps.
This application can also be automatically launched when your smartphone is connected to the car's speaker system via Bluetooth and contains an extended set of voice commands for the Google Virtual assistant.
The latest version of Android Auto with smartphone support will soon be available in more than 30 countries, including Russia. More detailed information about the operation of the Android Auto platform can be found on this page.
