Without a doubt, one of the best things about Tesla is the car's infotainment system and, specifically, the ability to play games and watch videos on the large central screen while you're charging the car's batteries. Now, Google has already added games to Android Auto, and it looks like its planning on adding YouTube to Android Automotive.
Up until now Google hasn't allowed video streaming apps such as Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime for obvious safety reasons. However, now that Google's car operating system is being added to more and more new vehicles, it looks like Google is having a change of heart.
The company says the purpose of this app launch is to make waiting for something less boring – it's ideal when you have twenty minutes to kill while you're waiting for your car to charge, for example.
To us, this makes perfect sense, we're not sure why this has taken so long to implement.
Google hasn’t provided too many specifics on this new app, so we don’t have a release date or a list of compatible vehicles, but this is still very exciting news.
