The “Car ready moble apps program” for developers is launching soon to make it easier to convert tablet apps to automotive ones.

Google is launching its car ready mobile apps program next month. This program, announced at I/O 2024 last year, takes existing mobile apps that are large screen compatible and makes them available to cars running Android Automotive. We don’t know which apps have been selected for the program, though.

February 2025 marks an important milestone in Android Automotive's and Android Auto's development. Google's system, installed in modern cars, will start supporting applications previously adapted for devices like tablets.

Android Automotive, Google's OS for cars, will be getting new car-ready apps in February, including video streaming, web browsers, and mobile gaming apps. Only cars certified with Google built-in will support these new apps,
