Android Automotive will be getting lots of new apps, starting next month

Google is launching a car ready mobile apps program next month to expand app availability for vehicles using Android Automotive OS. The program will focus on apps in specific categories, particularly video, gaming, and browsing, while ensuring they meet safety standards and quality guidelines. Apps designed solely for ARM devices will be excluded, but a compatibility mode will allow some non-compliant apps to function safely in vehicles. Eligible applications will be available for download starting February 2025, with potential support for Android Auto in the future. The availability of these apps will depend on vehicle certification by Google, and collaborations with OEMs are expected to increase the number of certified vehicles.
