As reported by dailysocial.id, Android Auto features an optimized on-screen display for better directive capabilities. It also provides users the versatility of using third-party apps along with Android Auto simultaneously. Furthermore, it comes with a new voice command available for use in a future update. For the time being, users will have to access the app through manual configurations.
Smartphone users will need to install the Android 5.0. operating system for app compatibility. Unfortunately, Android Auto is not yet available for the Indonesian market. (fmn/kes)
