Description

## Documentation - Android Auto - Attribution
Maybe lack of documentation (?)

Extension androidauto does not have an attribution in the maps shown:
https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-maps-android/tree/main/extension-androidauto

But the terms of service state that every shown Mapbox Map has to have the Mapbox Logo:
https://docs.mapbox.com/help/faq/what-type-of-attribution-is-required/

Something is missing here.

## Why
To be able to apply the needed steps for the Terms of Service of Mapbox
