Over the past few years, automotive systems have undergone unprecedented changes, and drivers and passengers’ expectations for in-car experiences have expanded far beyond traditional driving. With the continuous advancement of technology, the application ecosystem based on Android Automotive OS (AAOS) and Google Automotive Services (GAS) platforms is booming at an unprecedented speed, bringing richer, smarter and safer driving to drivers and passengers. experience.
Today, more than a hundred applications have joined this ranks, covering multiple fields such as driving assistance, parking assistants and passenger entertainment, adding unlimited possibilities to users' every trip.
1. Automotive Application Library: Create a new safe driving experience
In order to further optimize the user experience during driving, Google launched the Car App Library (CAL) in 2021. This open source tool empowers developers to easily create feature-rich in-vehicle applications that comply with safe driving standards. Through predefined safe driving templates, CAL ensures the simplicity and focus of the application interface, effectively reducing distractions during driving, allowing drivers to enjoy the journey with more peace of mind.
2. Parking and passenger applications: unlocking a new realm of in-car entertainment
In addition to applications designed specifically for drivers, Android Auto is also actively expanding the market for parking and passenger applications. These applications make full use of the hardware advantages such as large screens and surround sound in the car to provide users with a more immersive entertainment and information experience. From watching high-definition videos to enjoying high-quality music, from browsing news to participating in online games, the Parking and Passenger app makes every moment in the car full of fun and surprises.
3. Facing challenges and continuing to innovate
Of course, the development of any emerging technology cannot be smooth sailing. AAOS also faced challenges during the advancement process, such as immersive mode display issues, duplicate application icons, and no browser support. But it is these challenges that inspire Google and its partners to continue to innovate. They are committed to developing more complete tools and solutions to ensure that every user can enjoy a smooth, safe and personalized smart travel experience.
As the automotive application ecosystem continues to develop and expand, the driving experience in the future will become more colorful. The perfect combination of AAOS and GAS builds a win-win ecosystem for automobile manufacturers, developers and users. We look forward to seeing more innovative applications and solutions emerge on this platform, jointly promoting the development of the automotive industry in a more intelligent, safe and humane direction.
