They now consider "Android Auto" to also be the phone app, as it has the exact same functionality as the car implementation (plus upgradeable). Phone detect's car's bluetooth and switches interfaces. According to Google, you can say stuff (after the steering wheel button press), like:
"Play my 'Dance!' playlist on Spotify."
"Play Call Me Maybe onb Amazon Music."
"Play house music on Pandora."
"Play Harry Potter on Audible."
"Play Adele Radio on iHeartRadio."
"Play Planet Money on NPR One."

No, it won't show on iDrive screen unless you have BMW's miracast enabled - which is nice. And phone controls must be spoken to be legal in most states. But it really is a useful app.
