LAS VEGAS: Google has given Android Auto – the software that brings the features of an Android device onto your dashboard's infotainment system – a new user interface and features, including a split screen.

The new sidebar to the right of the navigation screen can display items such as a media player that offers a progress bar for easily skipping forward or back in podcasts, audiobooks and songs.
