Android Automotive OS

Android Automotive OS - Speeding up Customized Development

Driven by an increasing demand for personalized comfort functions, the automotive industry is experiencing a paradigm shift towards a software-defined vehicle.

Over-the-air updates allow for continuous improvement. However, the necessity to react quickly remains high as the software-defined vehicle competes with fast paced app development. Hardware-independent architectures and quickly modifiable software components offer a time-efficient and cost-effective way to develop individual comfort functions, that would otherwise take too long for the quickly changing demands. 

Android Automotive OS enables turnkey infotainment solutions for OEMs but also for 3rd party apps in short development time: Intelligent, customized, individual.

Want to experience Android Automotive in action? Discover our Proof of Concept - Bertrandt GUIDE!

Bertrandt proudly presents its first demand-oriented case study on the development of an end-to-end solution for intelligent route planning, using a combination of hardware-independent architectures and quickly modifiable software components. The system, which utilizes Android Automotive OS, React Native, OR-Tools solver, MQTT, and Mapbox, was realized with low development effort and costs, demonstrating the potential to speed up the development of software-defined vehicle functions through a clever selection of software technologies.
