Release Time:2025-03-04 18:23Views:

In smart cars, the Android Auto has always been the right-hand man for many car owners. It reveals in 2024 how it will upgrade its experience in the coming years.

Google to improve Android Auto investment more firmly than ever, the reason is very simple: Google hope in the field of automobile, and Android Auto is an indispensable part of the car business, whether support its embedded operating system models, or those who don't support models, Google hope Android Auto can shine.

In recent years, Android Auto's user base has grown steadily, and its adoption rate has increased significantly. Today, almost all of the new cars support the Android Auto. In 2025, Android Auto will receive a series of major updates that will revolutionize the user experience.

 

1、Car Media On the stage

In 2025, the first major update to Android Auto will be Car Media. This is a new app that will be deeply integrated into Android Auto, bringing all media options in one place. Google's move is designed to make music easier for radio, making Car Media a central hub to compensate for the lack of key features.

As the name suggests, Car Media is not designed to provide access to popular apps like Spotify and YouTube Music, but rather focuses on the in-car media itself. Currently, if you want to listen to FM radio, the only way to do it is to quit Android Auto and instead use the vehicle's own native software, because Android Auto cannot access the list of radio stations. Similarly, if you want to listen to local music through a USB storage device, you will also have to leave the Android Auto interface, because the app cannot read the files in the USB flash drive connected to the vehicle. These limitations bring a lot of inconvenience to users, and the emergence of Car Media will solve these problems.

 

2、The New app category is unlocked

In 2025, the Android Auto revolution will not stop there. In addition to Car Media, Google plans to introduce a new app category for Android Auto, which will be the second major update to the platform and a long-awaited change by users. In 2024, Google announced a test plan to introduce apps in the video, browsing and game categories to Android Auto. Currently, these app categories are already implemented on Android Automotive, and Google has found it perfectly feasible to introduce them to Android Auto.

 

1. Video application category

Support for the video app category means that Android Auto users can finally use YouTube. While watching videos during the vehicle is banned for safety reasons, users have found some workaround to unlock the YouTube. However, once Google officially launches the feature, YouTube will be open to all users, who can enjoy the video content as long as their vehicles are parked.

 

2. Browser application category

Browser support will allow users to view the web while parking using the vehicle's larger infotainment screen while parking. This feature not only provides more convenience for users, but also paves the way for Android Auto to introduce more applications, such as web applications. In addition, it will provide some basic features, such as reading news when the vehicle is not moving, making the user's waiting time no longer boring.

 

3. Game application category

The introduction of game categories turned the infotainment screen into a video game monitor. If the vehicle supports Bluetooth, Android Auto can even provide support for game controllers, giving users a richer gaming experience. Currently, there are some basic games on Android Auto, but as the new system comes online, the platform will support more advanced games, making it more fun to wait to recharge or kill time in a parking lot.

 

While Google has not revealed a timetable for the ambitious update, 2025 is the perfect time to start, given that the test plan was already announced in 2024. The I / O developer conference, usually held in the summer, may reveal more details about how Android Auto can unlock new app categories, and the first download may be available in beta in the summer.

2025 is definitely an exciting year for Android Auto users. With the launch of these new features, Android Auto's user experience will be significantly improved. Once all of these features are available, Android Auto may be the best choice when users choose the car smart system. Let's wait and see, and look forward to the surprise of Android Auto in 2025!
