Google's launch of Android Auto starts today with Pioneer head units
Google today released a dedicated Android Auto app that allows smartphones running Android 5.0 and above to communicate with compatible head units and car infotainment systems. The app passes data from Google Maps, Messages, Google Play Music, weather, and other apps from your phone to your car dashboard in a road-friendly interface that puts a big emphasis on hands-free operation.
Pioneer already has some (expensive) aftermarket head units available that can run Android Auto starting today, though the rollout of Google’s software to cars has been very slow moving aside from that — despite the large list of industry partners that Mountain View has rounded up. It’s a pretty great in-car experience, so hopefully things start to ramp up…
