The latter will all simple command bar, although some applications may have custom buttons, including thumbs up or down or buttons to bookmarks.
Android application developers have much more flexibility in custom applications for smartphone and tablet user interface design. But it makes sense that Google insists on a more unified design language for the systems in the car. The goal is to help builders.
