Voice assistants developed by two large companies, such as "CarPlay" from Apple and "Alexa Auto" from Amazon are trying to make them apply to automobiles as well.
Google with "Google Assistant" built-in smart speaker's Google Home is developing two types of automobile assistant, "Android Auto" and "Android Automotive" in the car.
Google has tied up with Nissan, Mitsubishi, Renault and is trying to make 2021 cars that said "Android Automotive" according to 9to5google reports.
If each manufacturer makes a tie-up, you will not have to develop your own system. For users will benefit from switching without resistance. This is a Win-Win for both parties, users can use the system that they are accustomed to, so you can concentrate on driving without confusion.
"Android Automotive" can display maps, navigation, phone answers, and text reply functions and access the Google Play store, you can also get the apps you need for driving. Moreover, it seems to be compatible with devices running on other companies' OS such as the iPhone.
Since each user can also customize the interface. Probably if you log in with Google Account, you can do the same thing that any PC can call the same Chrome environment.
Because "Alexa Auto" seems to be able to operate Alexa devices at home from a driving car, perhaps this "Android Automotive" can also control home appliances linked via Google Home.
