Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping a WebView is simple, bypassing Android Auto's strict app categories, car app library constraints, and safety restrictions to force a full-screen interactive WebView on the car display requires non-standard platform workarounds.
What it would actually take: Requires developing an Android Auto application using Android for Cars App Library or custom CarAppService overrides. Standard Android Auto prohibits interactive WebViews for driver distraction compliance, so building this requires hooking into root/custom Android Auto protocols (like AA-Phenotype-Patcher or custom projected media streams) with native Android automotive reverse-engineering expertise.
