Android Auto
Google's in-car system: Android Auto mirrors your phone on the dashboard, Android Automotive is built into the car.
Android Auto shows your phone’s maps, music, calls and messages on your car’s screen, so you can use them with big buttons and your voice. The phone does the thinking; the car is the display.
Android Automotive is different: it is a full Google system built into certain cars, which then run apps directly. The names are confusingly similar, which is why news about “Gemini in the car” often says which of the two it means.
