Google is expanding Android Automotive’s app support with games, streaming services and news apps as part of its “car-ready mobile apps program.” Apps like Plex, F1 TV, Red Bull TV and NBC News are now available in Volvo and Polestar vehicles, with no word on other brands yet. Popular games like Roblox and Farm Heroes Saga are also coming to in-car touchscreens, but the platform still lacks many apps compared to Android Auto. Drivers can install these new apps via the Google Play Store on their car’s dashboard.
Android Auto and Android Automotive OS are two completely different things. However, Google chose a similar name for them, creating some confusion. Both, Android Auto and Android Automotive are tools developed to provide essential smartphone features and apps to drivers while keeping their focus on the road.
