Android Automotive OS – an Overview
Summary
Software the new core compentence
There is currently a lot of movement around the topic of ‘software oriented vehicle‘, parallel approaches and different cooperations. Software is becoming a core competence. The topic of the OS – operating system plays a particularly central role here.
Android Automotive is not Android Auto
First of all, it is important to note: Android Automotive OS ≠ Android Auto. Because although both systems have many things in common, one is pre-installed as a fixed operation system in the vehicle and the other can only be used in combination with a smartphone.
Important to know:
- Android Automotive is a operation system (AAOS) and completly based on Android OS (same code basis as Android for Smartphones!)
- AAOS is Open-Source (part of AOSP: android open source project) and can be used for free!
- AAOS is running on a HPCHPC – High-Power-Charger. Charging power up to 950V and 500 Ampere / 450kW More (high performance computer) (see article: The change in the vehicle E/E-Architectures)
- AAOS is enhanced with automotive-specific requirements, features and technologies. Android Automotive will be a turnkey full-stack automotive infotainment platform
- AAOS has a very clear and easy to learn interface (user experience)
