<p>
  The Android platform enables you to extend your app to work with in-vehicle console systems
  running Android Auto. These systems provide a simplified interface for apps that can be used in
  a car, allowing users to take your app with them on the way to the grocery store or on a long
  road trip.
</p>

<p>
  Apps that work with Android Auto consoles run on a connected device, such as a phone or
  tablet. The app communicates via specific APIs with the in-dash console, which provides a user
  interface for the connected app that is designed for use in a car.
</p>
