Software is increasingly becoming the differentiating factor in the automotive industry. This has motivated automakers to adopt the latest trends from different domains so to offer the most pristine experience to the users of their vehicles. Furthermore, the higher the degree of automated driving the more possibilities there shall be for the driver and the passengers to utilize the car for more than transportation. In the meanwhile, we see the emergence of home automation technologies such as Google Home, Alexa etc which smarten up your routines and turn your mobile handset into an facilitator of your daily life. Now your car wants to be part of this ecosystem too!
Android Automotive aspires to connect your vehicle further with the world and enable it to seamlessly stay up to date with the latest trends in the mobile world, disrupting the rather stale technology that was being deployed in the automotive sector thus far. Google services will personalize your car to your specific needs, mood and taste!
As with every software ecosystem, Android's power lies within the diverse functionality of its applications. Aptiv believes there is a market gap in applications which generate value by integrating your car with the mobile services you are already using.
Assuming that the infotainment system of your -autonomous or not- vehicle is running on Android, we want you to build a product that utilizes Google Assistant and your vehicle's displays, speed, location, gas level, sound system, sensors, cameras etc to make you more productive, efficient, happy, rich, social, you-name-it!
