      Android Automotive, not to be confused with the entirely separate and unrelated Android Auto.

          Android auto is your phone projecting to your cars infotainment system. This can work independent of what the cars operating system is. Android automotive is Android "optimized" as an operating system for a cars infotainment system.

          Android auto runs on your phone. Android automotive runs in your car.

            Yes, but Android Auto does need some work on the car OS side to operate, i.e. within Android Automotive in this example (although Blackberry QNX is probably more common these days, automakers are moving away from it)

              Yes, I was just arguing against Android auto and Android automotive being the same or similar thing.
