Italy's antitrust watchdog fines Google for $123M due to Android Auto issue

Google must already be used to getting fined by antitrust watchdogs all over the world. The latest one that they have received is a $123M fine from Italy’s Antitrust Authority (AGCM) due to a third-party app that was restricted from Android Auto. The watchdog said that Google violated Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, abusing their dominant position by restricting access to its platform and ordering them to make the app and other third-party apps available on Android Auto.
The issue that earned the ire of Italy’s antitrust watchdog is that of an electric car charging app called JuicePass, created by energy company Enel X Italia. While the app is still accessible through an Android smartphone, not having it on the Android Auto platform kind of defeats the purpose. The platform aims to lessen the times that drivers should be reaching for their phones while driving so apps that are not there will get less users for their target market.
