Android Automotive OS

Android Automotive OS is a specialized version of the Android operating system designed specifically for use in vehicles. It provides a platform for developers to create applications that can be deeply integrated with a car’s hardware and software, allowing access to vehicle features, such as information about speed, fuel levels, and navigation. Unlike Android Auto, which mirrors apps from a smartphone onto a car’s infotainment system, Android Automotive OS runs directly on the car’s hardware, providing a full operating system experience for both drivers and passengers. It supports customizable user interfaces and can include features such as voice commands, touch controls, and integration with vehicle system notifications. This operating system aims to enhance driving experiences while ensuring driver safety and convenience through seamless connectivity and access to various applications tailored for automotive use.
