On the Android developer's blog, John Posavatz who is the Product Manager, Android Auto has posted a sneak peek into this year's Android Auto development. He wrote, "Today, thousands of apps for Android Auto are available through the Google Play Store for millions of drivers in over 30 countries around the world. And because the Google Assistant is available on Android Auto, developers are able to build voice-powered experiences on their apps that let drivers get things done while keeping their eyes on the road."
In the blog, he also revealed what all enhancements will be incorporated into the Android Auto Front. There will be new visual templates that will make media apps to make their content more accessible to users. He also added that there is a possibility of having browsable content which will be placed on front and centre as soon as you open up an app, enabling you to easily recognize and quickly start listening to songs and podcasts. There are also going to be some media search enhancements through which Android Auto will allow media apps to directly integrate their results. This will allow drivers to quickly discover tracks that are related to what they're currently listening to, such as a song's live version, or a song with the same name from a different artist, the blog stated.
