Google has revealed that it is adding several apps, including Max and Peacock, to its Android Automotive infotainment platform, which is the OS used by the likes of Volvo, Polestar and Renault, plus upcoming models from Porsche.
Ford, Acura, Honda, Buick and Cadillac are a number of additional manufacturers that harness the power of Android Automotive with Google Automotive Services (GAS), which allows those brands to offer Google Maps, Google Play and Google Assistant natively on in-car displays – a different proposition to Android Auto, which is simply a smartphone screen mirroring device.
