Android Auto is Google's version of the smart interface available on modern cars and recent android/iOS phones. Apple's version is their Carplay.
Android Auto:
https://www.android.com/intl/en_uk/auto/
Carplay:
http://www.apple.com/uk/ios/carplay/
Both links list supporting cars/phones.
AA is more specifically designed for the car, whereas Apple's is a row of icons like the phones. That aside, they work then in similar ways.
Via a USB connection, the car uses the phone and displays Maps, Phone, and Music on the car screen and through the car's speakers, with supporting apps curated for auto (elf n safety etc - so no Netflix  ).
Maps and online music like Spotify etc will require a data connection. With the move away from roaming charges and toward workable data caps that's not a problem for many. For Zeebrugge to Lake Como this year the cost was included in our tariff, but if I'd had to pay, it would have been £30 for the two weeks. That was daily Google Map use, plus FB, WhatsApp, calls/txts etc. But NOT streaming.
For us, meant we could effectively have satnav built in and controlled by the car by voice or the steering wheel whilst still saving £600 and the future cost of map updates. Can't speak to Apple Maps, but GM does real time traffic updates - very handy - and you can voice ask Google searches.
There's an older third party system called Mirrorlink. It only works with android and as its name suggests, it simply mirrors what's on the phone, giving more choice of app for the given situation.
