execute. You can even dictate messages or ask to call a
contact via the voice interface. That said, if you still want
to use the physical buttons on the steering wheel or the
intuitive touch interface, you can still do it.
Android Auto or Apple CarPlay can take care of your
music as well. There’s no need to curate music for your
long trip or listen to random songs on the radio. You can
listen to the same music in your smartphone via the
same favourite apps like Google Play Music, Apple Music,
Spotify and more.
Another important feature that you can take
advantage of is the navigation. The issue with the car’s
navigation function is the recency of the map data. But
with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay you can use
Google Maps (works in CarPlay as well) to get the
updated map data along with real-time traffic details.
But that’s not all. Smart infotainments support
additional apps that you can use while driving. The apps
that work right now are limited but you can use
messaging apps like WhatsApp or listen to podcasts on
your favourite app.
