During this year 2015 we have seen how the big car manufacturers announced that soon their new models will be compatible with Android Auto. GMC, the US vehicle manufacturer and division of the General Motors group, has confirmed that it will carry Android Auto in the first models that will arrive in 2016.
Although the news is more intended for the US market, it is good news since we will begin to see the first cars with Android Auto on the road.
GMC has in its group important brands such as Chevrolet, Cadillac or Buick among others and, precisely these brands will be the pioneers in the United States to carry the Google operating system designed for the automotive sector.
Android Auto on American roads
As is logical, when Google presents a service, it focuses first on the American country, so it is normal to see how Americans enjoy the new Nexus, a new version of Android and other services known around the world before anyone else. GMC has announced that it will begin the deployment of Android Auto through an update via OTA from March 2016. This update will be made on those models that currently carry the 8-inch IntelliLink system.
We know that Google is working with other manufacturers such as KIA or Audi to bring Android Auto in their next models. So it won't take long to see the operating system for cars on European roads. In any case, if you want to try the Android Auto functionalities on your smartphone, we leave you an article that talks about AutoMate.
