After unveiling Android Auto in June and distributing developer APIs in November last year, Google on Tuesday has finally launched a consumer version of the Android Auto app on Google Play.
The Android Auto app is compatible with Android 5.0 Lollipop and higher devices, and recently launched Pioneer head units/ dashboard products, said Google. At present, Android Auto is only supported for users in the US, UK and Australia, and Google is looking to add more partners soon.
Google's Android Auto platform essentially brings Google Now and Google Maps to the car's dashboard. With the app connected to cars' dashboard/ head units, users get turn-by-turn navigation, traffic information and more via Google Maps. Users can send and make calls, ask for Google Now cards via, and play music using voice commands,notes the Google Play listing.
The company has also hidden a developer mode in the Android Auto app. To get to Android Auto developer mode, users need to tap on the image header in the app 10 times.
