Google Play services for cars with Google built-in

When you are developing apps for Android Automotive OS cars with Google built-in, some Google Play services may not be available or may be restricted to provide a safe and consistent experience for drivers.

Android Automotive OS uses the same client libraries for Google Play services as mobile apps, so you can implement functionality for your automotive app using the same libraries that you use for mobile apps.

The following table shows which Google APIs for Android are available on Android Automotive OS cars with Google built-in:
