Toyota to join hands with Google, Android Auto may finally come to its vehicles

Toyota is now into an agreement with Google to bring the infotainment software Android Auto to their vehicles. The company has been known to avoid integrating the software into their vehicles for years, until now.Apparently, Toyota had earlier raised questions about the amount and kind of information that Google’s systems will collect for Android Auto to work in its vehicles, and that’s why they resisted the idea. While they claimed to not integrate any such software, but then they did, in fact, bring Apple’s CarPlay to their cars this year in January.[caption id="attachment_4247511" align="alignnone" width="1280"]
