Swedish electric car brand Polestar was among the first to adopt Google's Android Automotive multimedia platform. This includes the same suite of applications as an Android phone, but adapted to the automotive context The actual offering has so far been rather limited, but that's set to change in the coming months.
Among them are two video-on-demand applications that will be offered to U.S. customers of Polestar, as well as of Volvo, Ford, Acura, Buick and other brands whose models use the Android Automotive system. New additions are HBO's Max and Peacock. The Angry Birds game, very popular in mobile versions, will also be included de facto.
New categories will soon be added to the platform. Games, web browsers and weather apps are already in beta mode and should be made official soon. Google will also be adding a communications category, for video calling services such as Microsoft's Teams, Zoom, or Meet . The arrival of Android Automotive has created a bit of confusion for some motorists, to the point where many are wondering whether this is the beginning of the end for Android Auto. But that's probably not the case.
