Build an Android App for the Car's Infotainment System

Nowadays, most car stereos come equipped with screens that support Android OS, allowing apps to integrate with the car's infotainment system. This enhances convenience by enabling users to interact with apps without needing to look at their phones while driving.

Some apps offer entertainment features like music streaming (Spotify, YouTube Music), while others provide utilities such as navigation (Google Maps), locating charging stations, parking apps, and messaging services like WhatsApp or Telegram.

As a developer, if you believe your app can be useful for users while driving or riding, you should consider adding support for Android Auto or Apple CarPlay to enhance the in-car experience.

Types of Android Support for Car's Infotainment System:

1. Android Automotive App:

Android Automotive is a full-fledged operating system that runs directly on the car’s infotainment system. In this setup, the car functions as an Android device itself, allowing apps to run natively on the car without needing a connected smartphone. Automotive apps can interact more deeply with the vehicle's hardware and provide enhanced functionality (e.g., navigation, media, vehicle controls).
