Implementations relate to interactions, over a wireless communication modality, between an automated assistant of an automobile computer system, and separate client device(s). In some of those implementations, the client device(s) can be paired with the automobile computer system, and the client device(s) and the automobile computer system can include separate instances of an automated assistant, which can be associated with different user accounts. In some additional or alternative implementations, particular actions to be performed by a local application of a client device can be advanced via user interaction with the automobile automated assistant, despite a counterpart to the local application not being installed directly on automobile computer system. For example, despite an automobile computer system not having a third-party messaging application installed, the automobile automated assistant can access requested actions to be performed by the third-party messaging application in order to further a requested action. The automobile computer system can transmit, via the wireless communication modality, content to cause the third-party application to further the requested action.

A host computing device may perform various aspects of the techniques described in this disclosure, and comprises a memory, a processor, and a personal area network (PAN) interface. The memory may store PAN configuration data for each user account of different user accounts, where the PAN configuration data includes a separate layer two host address (LHA) for use by the PAN interface when supporting a PAN link. The processor may execute an operating system that, responsive to a first user account logging into the operating system: obtain, from the memory, first PAN configuration data of the PAN configuration data specific to the first user account; and initiate programming of the PAN interface to use a first LHA included in the first PAN configuration data. The PAN interface may establish, using the first LHA, a first PAN link with a first client computing device associated with the first user account.

User account aware personal area network bonding

An example method includes receiving, by a sink device and from a source device, identity information corresponding to a subscriber information module (SIM) of the source device via a connection between the sink device and the source device; registering, at the sink device, a remote SIM with the identity information corresponding to the SIM of the source device; and communicating, by an application of the sink device and using the remote SIM, with an external device via a cellular radio transceiver of the source device.
