List of apps

At the moment Android Automotive only supports media and messaging apps that use audio. I know of few that do exist, like Spotify, YouTube music, Google Play Books (only audiobooks). But I know there is more than that. It is hard to know what is available without actually owning the car and seeing list of available apps, and I couldn't find a good source on the topic anywhere. I did find this short GIF on one website showing a list of few apps: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-expands-android-automotive-os-android-auto-support-car-manufacturers-developers/ - It looks like the list is short: YouTube Music, Spotify, Google Maps, iHeartRadio, radio.net, Audioburst, Podcast Player, NPR One, Google Play Books, NRK Radio, Google Assistant, Sveriges Radio Play, Libby by Overdrive, ARD Audiothek, Pocket Casts, Radio France, myCANAL from CANAL+, Radioline. The article is from few months ago, and even then it is unclear if it was up to date. 2A02:168:2000:5B:1903:1E00:B3BB:B0DD (talk) 09:52, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

I've added a permanent URL to the list of apps available to Android Automotive OS in the article: https://play.google.com/store/apps/streamchild/explore_all_apps_aae. This was provided to me directly by Polestar support. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dctbygeipvqk (talk • contribs) 17:02, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Page name change

Maybe trivial but, I think the page needs to be changed to Android Automotive OS as it is commonly referred to by Google and third-parties. Notahashtag (talk) 10:58, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

That's an unofficial name. The official one does not have "OS" in it. If anything, I'll create a redirect with that title, and add an "aka" notice in the lead. --uKER (talk) 15:44, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

Google begs to differ: https://developers.google.com/cars/design/automotive-os ʍαμ$ʏ5043 (talk) 15:42, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

History

I can't find any information to support the assertion (added in 08:29, 1 November 2022 ) that Stellantis had "revoked" their 2020 announcement that UConnect would be used in their autos going forward. The linked reference does not include any information about a 2022 revocation, only about the original 2020 announcement. The prima facie interpretation of this addition is that Stellantis no longer uses Android Automotive, which is clearly incorrect. This change appears to be J477's only contribution to the topic. Should it be reverted? Steve hoge (talk) 20:22, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
