Android Auto is a great way to stay connected while driving.
Android Auto is designed to minimize distraction when using your phone in the car. There are three main things that make Android Auto safe and easy to use: voice actions, "glanceable" apps (apps that stay out of the way when you're not looking at them), and steering-wheel controls.
These features help keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.
As you drive, you can keep up with whatever is important to you - whether that's a navigation app or a streaming music service. All of these features are designed to work together to help minimize distraction from your phone while driving.
And, if you're a passenger instead of the driver, Android Auto works for that too - just plug your phone into a car with an Auto-ready head unit and use Android Auto on the display. When you connect your phone to a head unit that supports Android Auto, a new app will appear called "Android Auto".
