Summary
Video streaming will arrive on Android Auto in supported cars later this year, giving drivers another in-car option while waiting with the vehicle parked.
Google is limiting the feature to parked use, extending Android Auto beyond navigation and music while aiming to avoid driver distraction.
Android Auto already supports some parked-only apps marked with a “P” icon, including compatible games that close once the car starts moving.
Spotify and Waze are also part of that parked-car use case, letting users browse podcasts or check traffic and routes before pulling out.
