For app developers, adapting video apps for the car screen involves the
following main steps:

- Optimize design for the large screen
- Support landscape and portrait versions
- Use MediaSession
- Resume video playback from pause

OEMs can customize how these video experiences are presented in their vehicles,
and ensure that drivers can't watch videos while driving.
