Android Auto Will Present on Toyota Cars

In recent years, Android Auto has been increasingly adopted in a number of vehicles from various automotive manufacturers. Despite its increasing popularity, Toyota refused to let the software from Google enter its vehicle.

Now, Toyota is reported to have reached an agreement with Google to bring Android Auto to its vehicle, the Android Authority website said on Monday (9/24).

When Android Auto first entered the market, there were concerns about the number of vehicles and personal information that Google needed to make the software work. For this reason Toyota said it did not want third-party software installed on its infotainment system.

However, in January this year, Toyota agreed to allow Apple CarPlay to be present on Avalon, Corolla Hatchback and RAV4 with more vehicles in the future. Since then, company representatives have stated that there is a demand for Android Auto, but did not comment if Toyota would choose to include the platform.

Unfortunately, there is no information about which Toyota vehicle will be the first to run Android Auto. The official announcement about the agreement with Google is reported to take place in October.
