Android Auto, an Android-based car application launched by Google LLC, provides basic functions such as navigation, phone calls, music, and voice search. It’s based on Google’s strong ecosystem that one of the main features of Android Auto is navigation. It uses Google Maps data, and the map is constantly updated for free, unlike most built-in navigation systems, which you have to buy and update regularly. Android Auto can stream music, video or other content to the car’s system through the device.

In addition to that, you can use Android Auto for calls and messages, most of which are available via voice commands. It can be set to automatically reply, so you won’t be distracted while you’re driving. Compared to a Bluetooth connection, the system offers more functionality. What’s more, Android Auto lets interactive screens open Google Maps, receive text messages, receive radio, or play music. You can also voice control via Android Auto.

Last but not least, the Google Maps interface of the Android Auto version has been optimized for the in-vehicle system to ensure that users can be easily identified during use, so as not to distract attention, which is very important in a sense. And Android Auto’s messaging features are also very commendable, especially when using Google Hangouts, the experience is quite trustworthy. When a message is received, a small red dot appears on the car screen. After the user clicks, Android Auto will read it, which avoids active disturbance to the driver and helps protect the owne’s privacy.
