Android Auto to Support Most of the Latest Phones
Google has unveiled its Android Auto service back in 2015, a year after the major car manufacturers formed the Open Automotive Alliance. The purpose of this system is to develop a wireless link between your smartphone and the car’s head unit (or the infotainment system), to make it easy for accessing the eligible services without much distraction. Well, the carmakers have to make this support possible too. Cars with the infotainment system and a WiFi connection should be able to connect to users smartphones and procure data from it. Google mentioned that the phones should be able to support 5GHz Wi-Fi in order to connect, which was a barrier in earlier phones but not with the new ones coming. Further, it also mentioned that EU players have to wait for a little more time since the EU approvals for using 5GHz WiFi in-car takes time. The feature would let users cast the phone’s compatible apps like Play Music, Maps, GPS, SMS and Phone.
