Android Auto is a mobile app developed by Google that allows users to mirror features of an Android device, such as a smartphone, on a cars dashboard information and entertainment head unit. Once an Android device is paired with the cars head unit, the system can act as an external display for the Android device, presenting supported software in a car-specific user interface provided by the Android Auto app. Android Auto is designed to make it easier to use apps that you love from your phone while you’re on the road, with a simplified interface, large buttons, and powerful voice actions.
