Google open-sources Android Automotive OS for SDVs

Google is making its Android Automotive OS (AAOS) for Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs) open-source to foster innovation in the automotive industry. This initiative extends AAOS beyond the traditional infotainment system to create an open infrastructure for non-safety related vehicle functions. By addressing software fragmentation, Google aims to empower carmakers to focus on differentiation and deliver faster, more cohesive in-car experiences. This move is expected to accelerate the development of next-generation vehicles, integrating them more deeply with users' digital lives.
