A platform isn’t a platform without apps, though. The CCC is also working hard on that. It announced seven Mirror Link-certified apps at the Paris Auto Show on Friday. Including the popular Synergic for navigation and Parkopedia for finding parking spots. Ewing said that our job is to get as many exciting apps as possible. Ewing also contrasted Google’s push for a consistent look and felt among Android Auto apps to Mirror Link’s efforts to help developers. As closely as possible to their app’s design while adjusting for minimal distraction. Samsung may just be hedging its bets. But for Mirror Link, every phone win helps it stand up to Android Auto. Which is still developing but benefits from Google’s money influence. No matter what happens. The smartphone-car marriage benefits from all this activity in a way. That occurred when it was just up to the automakers.
