For AutoZen is an application that offers the user safe driving solutions through a simple and easy-to-use interface with large buttons. Even though this is an alternative to Android Auto, both apps share many functions such as GPS navigation with real-time turning directions or the ability to listen to music and make calls safely.
Furthermore, the speech recognition It allows you to give directions to both apps without taking your eyes off the road. This is something very common, especially when we want to make a phone call or change the song on our cell phone.
