+
+
+<p>When designing support for Android Auto in your app, avoid driver distraction above all else.
+  Apps that work with the Auto user interface should minimize distractions faced by the driver
+  through best practices such as voice commands and very simple visual design.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  Great auto experiences are predictive and predictable.  Apps that support Android Auto
+  should show timely information to the driver only when it is relevant, and use
+  simple, predictable patterns for common tasks.
+</p>
+
+<p class="caution">
+  <strong>Important:</strong> The criteria listed in this page apply to your app's user interface 
+  and behavior when running on devices connected to an Android Auto screen. Apps must meet these 
+  criteria to qualify as an Android Auto app on Google Play.
+</p>
+
+
+<div class="headerLine">
+  <h2 id="core">
+  Core App Quality
+  </h2>
+
+<p>
+ In addition to the Auto-specific criteria listed below, Auto apps should meet all relevant core app
+ quality criteria for the Android platform, as detailed in the
+  <a href="{@docRoot}distribute/essentials/quality/core.html">Core App Quality</a> criteria. Test
+  your app against those criteria to ensure that they meet Android standards for navigation and
+  design. Then test your app against all Auto-specific criteria, keeping in mind
+  that, when running on a device connected to Android auto, your app must meet the requirements
+  listed in this page.
+
+
+
+<div class="headerLine">
+  <h2 id="ux">
+  Visual Design and User Interaction
+  </h2>
+
+</div>
+
+<p>
+  These criteria ensure that your app follows critical design and interaction patterns
+  to ensure a consistent, intuitive, and enjoyable user experience on Android Auto. Many elements,
+  such as the navigation drawer, card backgrounds, fonts and icon colors, are set and rendered by
+  the system. Your own app-specific design elements must meet the following criteria.

+  <strong>After I submit my app, how will find out if my app does not meet all
+    the requirements for Android Auto?</strong>
+</p>
+<p>If you are planning to develop apps for Auto, you are encouraged to begin enabling and testing
+  your apps now. However, Auto-enabled apps cannot be published at this time. Join the
+ <a href="http://g.co/AndroidAutoDev" class="external-link">Auto
+ Developers Google+ community</a> for updates on when you will be able to submit
+ your Auto-enabled apps.</p>
+</p>
+
+
+<p style="margin-top:30px;">
+  <strong>My app targets more than just Android Auto. If my app does not meet the Auto
+  requirements, will my new or updated app still appear on Google Play for phones and
+  tablets?</strong>
+</p>
+<p>
+  No. When Google begins the approval process, your auto app will undergo a driver safety
+  review, and will not be
+  available for distribution until the app is approved. Because this is the same APK as
+  for phones and tablets, your Play Store updates for those devices will not be available until the
+  Auto approval process is complete.  
+</p>
+
+<p class="caution">
+  <strong>Important:</strong> Due to this restriction, you should not use your production APK
+  for Auto support prototyping.
