Google's Android Auto will add Prime Video, Zoom, Weather Channel in some cars



Google has made significant inroads with its Android Auto operating system and built-in services in recent years, attracting several big-name automakers as partners. Companies from General Motors to Volvo have jumped on board with the tech, which brings all manner of Google built-in features like Maps, Google Assistant, and the Google Play Store. The tech giant recently announced expanded functionality for its software that will bring WebEx, Zoom, Prime Video, and the Weather Channel to select vehicles through the interface.

Before you start panicking about overworked executives distracted by Zoom calls on the highways, it’s important to note that the videoconferencing app will be audio-only, and the same goes for WebEx. Some Polestar, Volvo, and Renault models that have the Google Play Store will be able to install Prime Video and the Weather Channel apps. Prime Video will only work while the vehicle is parked. Also available is the Vivaldi web browser, which owners can download from the Play Store and use while stationary.
