• auto needs to be on a specific category for starters (iot, messaging, media, poi’s); the one that fit better for us is poi (point of interests)
• in this category it seems it’s mandatory to show them in a map so users can quickly select one to drive to
• when doing a task on auto it needs to be under three screens, so our approach needs to take both points into account
all of these is done to guarantee that all apps are suited for driving and they won’t distract the user
