Android for Cars provides templates that let you create a variety of app
experiences to aid driver journeys, from finding parking and charging options,
to checking the weather, to communicating with home devices while on the
road.

The Android for Cars App Library includes driving-optimized templates (some with
maps, drawn by the app library), as well as templates with parked variants or a
parked-only focus. By combining these templates in task flows, you can design
experiences that work for both Android Auto and AAOS in a wide range of
in-vehicle scenarios.

Currently, approved app categories for the Android for Cars App Library (other
than the navigation category, discussed in [Navigation apps](https://developer.android.com/design/ui/cars/guides/app-types/navigation-apps)) include
point-of-interest (such as parking and charging) and IoT.
