Google is reportedly mounting a revitalized version of its Android Auto service that will come built into car dashboards. It is a fresh, exciting software that can bring smart features to vehicle infotainment displays without the need for a synced smartphone. This can make driving a lot more fun for you as you get the chance to enjoy all the benefits of the Internet without even plugging in your smartphone. Now this is a big thing that the majority cannot resist.

This is a big step up from Google's current Android Auto software, which comes with the newest version of its smartphone functioning system and involves a phone to be plugged into a well-matched car with a built-in screen to access streaming music, maps and other apps. We do not have to wait any longer because this ideal car is expected to arrive next year.

"It provides a much stronger foothold for Google to really be part of the vehicle rather than being an add-on," said Thilo Koslowski, vice president and Automotive Practice Leader of industry research firm Gartner.

However, there is a chance that automakers might be cautious of giving Google admission to in-car components that could increase security and liability concerns, and be unwilling to give Google such a prime spot in their vehicles.

Automakers want to keep their brand appeal and keep their differentiation," said Mark Boyadjis, an analyst with industry research firm IHS Automotive. "Automakers don't want to have a state of the industry where you get in any vehicle and it's just the same experience wherever you go."

For now, we can just wait for this to happen, but settling for a used car for sale in Bay Lake can actually be as exciting- with a great deal.
