Google announced new updates for Android Auto at the Google I/O developer conference, including an updated Spotify app with a feature called Spotify Jam, allowing users to share control of an audio source from their devices.
Google revealed the addition of support for Quick Share and passkey support for cars with Google built-in, along with showcasing a new light mode theme for Android Auto.
Upcoming features for Android Auto include browser and video apps, with gaming apps already available in beta. These new features will only be accessible when the car is in park.
The Spotify Jam feature will allow users to collaborate on creating a playlist by tapping a “Jam” icon on the car's touchscreen and scanning a QR code, enhancing the music-sharing experience on Android Auto.
