Overseas travel, the momentum is surging forward, as the technical owner of Android Google is sure to be the first speaker. Compared with the previous mobile Internet and mobile Android, Google Cars' Android Automotive OS (hereinafter referred to as AAOS) came into being. AAOS is an Android based infotainment system Built into Cars with Google Built in. Since 2010, development has been put on the agenda and entered the market.
So what exactly is an AAOS? What is a GAS?
Android Automotive OS (AAOS)：
AAOS is an infotainment system built into vehicles by carmakers. Android apps that support AAOS requirements canbe downloaded from the Google Play Store to any carmanufactured by a Google Automotive Services (GAS)partner. Instead of using a particular phone app, users installa version of the app that is designed for cars directly ontothe head unit.
Google Automotive Services (GAS)：
Car makers who wish to provide Google services such as Maps, Play Store, Assistant, and so on can work directly withGoogle to support GAS. GAS consists of software built ontop of Android Automotive os for the purpose of deliveringsuch services.
It is not difficult to see from the above original text, a simple understanding: AAOS is the development system, and GAS is based on the AAOS certification program. The goal is to enjoy Google's services freely on the car. Some people will ask: using Android Auto can also enjoy these, what's the difference? A picture tells you the difference:
According to the survey, more than 200 million cars are driving on the road, and 98% of all new cars sold support Android Auto. On the basis of such a large user data, more and more OEM brands join, and the development of Google Cars is just around the corner.
In fact, excluding brand OEM, the addition of third-party application developers is a certain highlight of Google Cars service:
Drivers can enjoy differentiated driving services in constant vehicle state, because there are three different App application quality levels designed, specifically as follows:
At present, the design of the product is a hundred flowers bloom, different screen sizes, display, layout, theme display, how to achieve the platform management?
Don't worry, and the Google also takes this point into account:
The new simulator for a panoramic display, so developers can visualize and test it, and we bring new features to support the latest in-car experience. With the increasing size and number of screens in the car, ensuring that applications can adapt to a variety of displays can be tricky. We hope that by offering this simulator, we can simplify and minimize the work you need, while providing an excellent experience for cars with these screen configurations.
In addition, there is a new developed model: Emulator for avariety of screen shapes & sizes, new tools for different screen sizes and shapes. To accommodate the development design such as unique curve illustrations and angles, developers can use the modification tool to change the simulator UI to match the OEM screen design to ensure that the application runs normally in a real car without setting up a specific OEM simulator or introducing a real car for testing, greatly reducing the workload and difficulty. Of course, the actual test content will not be reduced.
Today, zhongle certification sharing is over, the next part we will continue to share the relevant chapters of development and certification, please look forward to it.
