What Android Auto does in a car
Android Auto runs a set of phone apps on a car's built-in display, so you can use them without holding the phone. It is built around Google Assistant, a simplified layout and large buttons. The phone connects to the car with a USB cable, and the listing says more than 400 car models support it.
The app is aimed at people who drive regularly and want their navigation, calls, messages and music available on the dashboard screen rather than in their hand.
