Description

when I run the showcase.automotive module on my Android Emulator with Android 10.0 (Automotive with Play Store) all it shows is a screen saying that "System requires an update. Please check for updates, or contact the device manufacturer" click update button but all it does is open the play store nothing more (even updating google play services to latest haven't done anything).

and I'm getting this stack trace on my logcat:
`2021-06-22 16:58:24.492 7602-7602/androidx.car.app.sample.showcase E/CarApp.Act: Service error: HOST_NOT_FOUND

Research direction

Reproduce showcase.automotive on the Android 10 Automotive emulator with Play Store and inspect the logcat failure in ServiceConnectionManager, CarAppViewModel, and CarAppActivity. Done means identifying why android.car.template.host.RendererService is unavailable and recording a confirmed resolution or reproduction guidance.
