Not everyone has a vehicle with Android Auto included, but Google's automatic user interface on the phone is a capable substitute. However, it seems that Google is preparing to make Auto for phones obsolete with the auxiliary driving mode. It has many features of Auto, but it is less restrictive. He arrives at all phones with assistant this summer.

You will be able to start the driving mode by telling the "Let's Conduct" wizard. Your phone will instantly switch to a minimalist scrolling user interface with useful links and actions. For example, you will get traffic information at the top, followed by navigation, calls, and media. As in Android Auto, appointments in your calendar generate quick navigation links. Of course, you can talk to the assistant whenever you need it.

The driving mode does the same thing as Auto on the phone, but with a different user interface that seems easier to use. For example, you can run the navigation, but the media gets a persistent read bar under the map in the Driving View. The auto on the phones was still a reduced version of the car's UI, but the driving mode seems more suited to a smaller screen.
