Application execution while operating vehicle

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions, which, when executed by a vehicle processor in a vehicle, cause the vehicle processor to perform actions comprising:

• obtaining, from an application server, classification data associated with a plurality of applications executable in the vehicle, the classification data comprising, for each of one or more applications in the plurality of applications, an indication of a first safety level of the application, an indication of a second safety level of the application, one or more vehicle operating modes associated with the first safety level and during which the application is configured to be executed in the vehicle, and one or more vehicle operating modes associated with the second safety level and during which the application is configured not to be executed in the vehicle;
• receiving an indication to execute a first application from among the plurality of applications;
• determining an operating status of the vehicle;
• determining that the first safety level of the first application is not satisfied based on the operating status of the vehicle corresponding to the one or more vehicle operating modes associated with the second safety level of the first application;
• in response to determining that the first safety level of the first application is not satisfied, generating a recommendation for executing a second application that has vehicle operating modes in a first safety level that correspond to the operating status of the vehicle;
• outputting the recommendation for executing the second application;
• receiving data indicative of a user selection to execute the second application;
• and
• in response to receiving the data indicative of the user selection to execute the second application, executing the second application in the vehicle.

A system comprising:

• one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable and when executed by the one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform actions comprising:
• obtaining, from an application server, classification data associated with a plurality of applications executable in the vehicle, the classification data comprising, for each of one or more applications in the plurality of applications, an indication of a first safety level of the application, an indication of a second safety level of the application, one or more vehicle operating modes associated with the first safety level and during which the application is configured to be executed in the vehicle, and one or more vehicle operating modes associated with the second safety level and during which the application is configured not to be executed in the vehicle;
• receiving an indication to execute a first application from among the plurality of applications;
• determining an operating status of the vehicle;
• determining that the first safety level of the first application is not satisfied based on the operating status of the vehicle corresponding to the one or more vehicle operating modes associated with the second safety level of the first application;
• in response to determining that the first safety level of the first application is not satisfied, generating a recommendation for executing a second application that has vehicle operating modes in a first safety level that correspond to the operating status of the vehicle;
• outputting the recommendation for executing the second application;
• receiving data indicative of a user selection to execute the second application;
• and
• in response to receiving the data indicative of the user selection to execute the second application, executing the second application in the vehicle.
