"Google is finally introducing the capability for you to watch 60 fps full HD video on your car's infotainment screen through Android Auto. Since modern cars have "high-definition screens, premium stereo systems and comfortable seating," Google noted, essentially making them mini-movie theaters, it's the perfect time for in-car video."
"You'll only be able to watch video content while parked or charging. When you switch from park to drive, your video will switch to audio only for apps that allow background audio. Google didn't mention a full list of compatible apps, only saying that you'll be able to watch videos on "apps like YouTube.""
"The new video capability will come to "supported cars" later this year, Google said, starting with models from BMW, Ford, Genesis, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Renault, and Volvo. In addition, Google is leaning even more into entertainment and adding immersive, spatial sound using Dolby Atmos in several cars from BMW, Genesis, Mahindra, Mercedes-Benz, Renault, and Volvo."
