I really wish these 7 apps worked on Android Auto

Google's Android Auto has the potential to enhance the driving experience through the integration of various apps, which are currently limited due to safety concerns. Anticipated additions include: - Google Tasks: Allows access to to-do lists and checklists directly from the car dashboard, facilitating pre-trip preparations and reminders. - Google Keep: Provides quick access to stored information like road trip plans and addresses, improving efficiency for passengers. - Airbnb: Enables reading host messages aloud and accessing check-in procedures and contact information while driving. - Google Drive: Offers quick access to important documents and reservation confirmations on the Android Auto screen. - Slack: Could allow users to manage workplace communication and respond to messages safely while on the road. - Fitbit: May provide insights into health metrics like heart rate during driving, potentially suggesting optimal driving times and rest breaks. - YouTube: Could allow access to audio content while driving, with video playback available when parked. These apps could significantly enrich the Android Auto experience, making it safer, more enjoyable, and efficient.

Google Is Bringing Streaming and Gaming Android Apps to Parked Cars | Lifehacker

Google is expanding Android Auto and built-in ecosystems to integrate a wider array of apps into vehicles, streamlining the process for developers to adapt their existing Android apps for automotive use. The integration strategy includes a tiered system to categorize Android apps for automotive use. Google plans to focus initially on categories such as gaming apps, video apps, and web browsers, which will only be operational when the vehicle is parked. Google is also proactively adding select apps to its automotive platform for vehicles with Google built-in, including entertainment apps and a version of Angry Birds.
