# Grant permissions on the car screen

On Android Automotive OS, the permissions flow is the same as granting permissions on Android Auto, except the user sees permission details on the car screen instead of the phone.  
| **Note:** This sample flow shows how the templates might look in Android Automotive OS (AAOS).
