What app is this? Looks to be related to Google Navigation?

Question

My wife and I got ourselves a couple of Pixel XL phones last week.
I noticed an icon on her phone that wasn't in mine named 'Driving' and it looks like this. Opening the app takes me straight to Google Navigation - screenshot here.

So what app is this? It looks to be a legit Google app but poking around in the Play Store didn't help much.

Answer

Its a quick access widget, these were implemented in android 7.1 and a lot of google apps have them. just long press a google app in the Pixel Launcher or Google Now Launcher.
