Android Automotive

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Android Automotive is a variant of Google's Android operating system that has been adapted for use in vehicle instrument panels. Android Automotive was developed by Google and Intel , together with vehicle manufacturers such as Volvo and Audi . The project aims to provide an operating system code base for vehicle manufacturers who can then develop their own version of an operating system. In addition to infotainment tasks such as mobile communication, navigation and playing music, the operating system aims to master vehicle-specific functions such as controlling the air conditioning.

In contrast to Android Auto , Android Automotive is an independent operating system that runs on a vehicle unit and does not depend on an external device.
