But that’s not all, what you need to know to create apps for Android Auto. Google applies some restrictions for applications, so as not to distract the driver. Things like the claim of lack of animation in the app sterowalnej driver, or, respectively, large, nierozpraszające buttons, and even the relevant printer. Google does not allow the use of custom fonts, and in addition, apply the relevant recommendations on the size of the text and its behavior on the screen. The text should not scrollować itself, and should not require scrollowania user.
in addition, all actions should be able to be done in a maximum of 6 steps (e.g., selecting a song in the player). This should minimize the involvement of users in interacting with the application while driving. Depending on the region, the number of maximum actions can be slightly different.
As noted by Michael Owl in his lecture, Android Auto is a response of Google on many platforms, connecting smartphones and cars, as well as the fact that most of them are easy to use for consumers. Android Auto should be a simple system of matching the request for each. Now Google has a lot of partners who are testing and implementing this solution for their vehicles.
Android Auto – that is, we limit the capabilities of a smartphone with our permission?
After the speech of Christopher Owl asked many questions about the typical consumer of the nuances of using with Android Auto. One of the participants asked about the fact that Android Auto makes us voluntarily to deprive yourself the freedom of use of the device and obwarować constraints, which probably will never see Yanosika in Android Auto (though I believe it can be done). Apps for Android Auto must adhere to strict rules that their actions, appearance, and reactions to user commands. All this in order to make the driver as small as possible odciągał your attention from driving.
And perhaps this should be the roots of the ideas standing behind the alleged “limitation” of the possibilities of smartphone using Android Auto. Google is a great compromise between what we can call the introduction of intelligent solutions Google for car and driver safety.
Google promises updates to Android Auto without limitations
In the case of Android Auto, Google does not want to reach a situation in which our equipment after a while, it becomes “stale” and replace it simply has to happen, because, for example, not work in our new and favorite apps. In the case of the so-called head units, devices which connect your null modem devices running Android equipped with the appropriate app, this problem should be maximally reduced. You need to know that this smartphone is responsible for what appears on the “head system”, that is, the display device capable of connection with the interface of Android Auto.

So, if our smartphone will be an update for Android Auto, our head unit also needs these updates to cope, and this must be done without restrictions. Different is the case with koncepcyjnymi, integrated solutions based on Android Auto as, for example, in the car Maserati. Here there is no guarantee that will not come to a situation similar as in the known good smartphones.
soon in Poland you will find a device that is able to withstand Android Auto!
As I learned in backstage conversations, Sony plans to introduce on the Polish market head-unit”, to which you connect your smartphone with Android OS, where you installed the Android app Auto. This equipment must be XAV-AX100, which will allow us to connect not only Android, but also iOS, which supports CarPlay interface. Screen with a diagonal of 6.4 inches will allow us to work comfortably with the interface, combined with physical buttons and a wheel to adjust the volume. Built-in power 55W would give us enough power and sound quality.
As we learned unofficially, in the near future Sony is going to attack the market with this device. The preliminary price of about 2000 rubles, but I was able to establish that Sony is planning a little surprise for us, reducing the cost of equipment.
I would Like to have something like that in your car
no matter what kind of car I drive, I wish this system was a part of my car. Can’t imagine using a smartphone while driving, and the idea of Google attracts me like no other. Care of giant details, which can distract the driver, taking care of developers that make up the strength of each platform are arguments for that in Google roots innovator not only in the field of mobile solutions, but also those of road, strongly associated with new technologies. Yesterday’s event was organized by GDG kraków has allowed us to see into the future and while Android Auto is not a completely “finished”, so we can say that what may be standard in a few years, it is already happening before our eyes.
