Google has tied up with prominent car manufacturers to bring Android operating system to cars. Given the widespread reach of this OS, it might not be a bad idea. Android currently has a base of over a million users globally.
Some of the car makers to partner in this auto-tech venture are Honda, general Motors, Hyundai and Audi. Though nothing concrete has been launched or said as yet but it has been confirmed from various sources that Google's Android OS will arrive with certain car specific features.
Audi had last month confirmed the tie up with Android OS by saying that it's entertainment and information systems will be in sync with Google's OS. Premium car audio makers like Pioneer and Kenwood have already started rolling out support for Android OS in their car music systems. Pioneer even has an app by the name of "Pioneer Connect" on the play store.
Quite visibly one can expect very interesting times ahead in the field of Cars and Cars electronics.
Having a Android Operating system in the entertainment system sounds cool....
ReplyDeleteI hope that Android is does not get installed in the engine of the car... Else the traffic police may use it to track speed and challans would be sent by tracking speed through this tracking system ;)
This could.be revolutionary
