1. A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:
receiving, at a mobile computing device, a request for an automated assistant to provide navigation instructions to a user while the user is in a vehicle,
wherein the request is embodied in a spoken utterance that is detected at an audio interface of the mobile computing device;
identifying, by the mobile computing device, one or more features of the vehicle using one or more interfaces of the mobile computing device,
wherein the one or more features indicate an ability of a vehicle computing device to render the navigation instructions;
determining, based on the one or more features, a type of vehicle in which the mobile computing device is located;
when the type of vehicle is a first type of vehicle:
causing, in response to the request to provide the navigation instructions, a display interface of the mobile computing device to render one or more selectable suggestions associated with the navigation instructions,
wherein the vehicle computing device renders the navigation instructions simultaneous to the mobile computing device rendering the one or more selectable suggestions; and
when the type of vehicle is a second type of vehicle:
causing, in response to the request to provide the navigation instructions, the display interface of the mobile computing device to render navigation data corresponding to the navigation instructions.
