idea here is that an increasing number of vehicle systems exist largely as software, and Android Automotive wants to help pick up some of the slack in controlling them. Look at locks, for example: Many cars don\u2019t even use traditional keys anymore, with driver authentication all done wirelessly. For non-safety-related systems like these (nothing where a glitch could lead to a crash), AAOS SDV could offer car manufacturers a convenient, easy-to-update alternative to more restrictive solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_S\">\n<p>Google hopes that AAOS SDV will speed up the development and roll-out of new features, while its connectivity tools will enable notifications for things like maintenance reminders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_S\">\n<p>Already, Google has found a partner in the Renault Group, and has been working with Qualcomm to get AAOS SDV ready for its full launch (along with the all-important source code release) sometime later this year. It remains to be seen how many car makers might be interested in taking advantage of those tools, but considering the support both Android Auto and Android Automotive have already received, we\u2019re cautiously optimistic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_S\">\n<p>Manufacturers will still have full control over how their vehicles take shape, but using an AAOS SDV framework would save them from having to reinvent a lot of the infrastructure that software-based vehicles rely on. Saving time and money are both pretty appealing to businesses, and so long as Google is able to get its messaging right with how it introduces everything, we just might see<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_rc e_S\">\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
