Android Auto is a smart application that allows you to manage other apps on your mobile phone while you are driving. It was developed and published by Google LLC, only for Android devices. Driving cars is a very responsible activity because you are responsible not only for your life but also for the lives of passengers in your car, oncoming car and just passers-by. With Android Auto, you can stay connected with the world without any risks. For example, you can answer the messages, turn on the music or see the route to your destination. To do this, you no longer need to pick up the phone and distract from the road. Just say “Ok Google,” and the application activates automatically.  Besides this, users can:

• Check the calendar to know all your meetings;
• Get the latest worldwide news;
• Set reminders;
• Make calls and answer the incoming calls;
• Use different messages including WhatsApp, Telegram, WeChat, Google Allo, and so on;
• Check the weather;
• Listening to music from various applications, including Spotify, Pandora, Google Play Music, and others. 

Android Auto uses Google Assitant to perform the commands. Also, the application supports more than 500 different car models in eight countries: the USA, Germany, France, Canada, Australia, India, United Kingdom, and South Korea.

Android Auto has the requirements for the system: users need to have at least Android 5.0, but it is recommended to have Android 6.0. Also, be sure that your car or stereo is compatible with Android Auto.
