even Though Android Auto is still not officially available in Russia, the world is already a real struggle to be able to hit the new generation vehicles. And nothing, it seems, resistance, Toyota or Porsche, who do not want to use Google’s solutions in their cars. Americans found other partners who are happy to take advantage of the technology of the Californian company. List of allies is, in particular, the FCA group (Fiat Chrysler), and Panasonic is known for manufacturing processors American Qualcomm.
Patrick Brady, Android Director of engineering admits that: “Google is building Android as a ready-made platform for the automotive industry, which is deeply integrated with the vehicle in a safe and painless way”. Recalls even on a new industrial standard. In other words promises the item to order almost real operating system that can almost from the hand to apply the newly developed machines.
On Board the vehicles will be Android special car versions. Vary so it will be from what we know with phones, tablets, televisions and other consumer electronics products. Useful not only for navigation, listening to music, talking on the phone or exchange location. New Android Auto also control air conditioning and ventilation, door locks, power Windows, heated seats, and even open the garage door. Android can also take part in mutual communication between vehicles (V2X) and to control vehicle access (card readers, biometrics, facial recognition and other types of user identification). Access to key parameters of engine operation, the individual components and all wiring seems to be only a matter of time.
feature List can be much longer. It’s mainly a question of the ingenuity of engineers. What’s more: not it’s not a distant vision. A sample of opportunities were presented during the exhibition CES.
Chrysler praised the prototype of the new Uconnect system in the 300 model. Installed in it equipment with a large screen of 8.4" and installed the latest version of the Android software (7.0 Nougat). With him pochwalono applications such as voice assistant Google navigation with Google Maps, music services Pandora, Spotify, NPR One and Pocket Cast. A list of programs still open, so high that one of the main advantages is the possibility of easy integration of the following programs. It sounds like an invitation for developers of navigation applications, music, social networking and many others. And somewhat reminiscent of Apple’s policy, which is creating its own ecosystem with a separate store began to make intercession. In other words: Yanosik may appear like a pay-program in Chryslerze 300. Part of the profits will go, however, Google, and Chrysler, and even the creators of the infotainment system.
during the CES is not limited, however, to demonstrate only model one radio. Panasonic has provided a prototype multimedia system in the concept Chrysler Portal. The inbuilt Android dial prepared for the extended user authentication, mutual connection with other vehicles (V2X), work with equipment, mobile and easy to share photos, music and movies in the community. There is even a special private zones audio to avoid mutual jamming during travel. And prepared by an unusual solution that may cause alarm among the security privacy system sensors for permanent monitoring of the conditions inside the car. Sounds scary?
Some of the sensors will be used to identify each person occupying a seat in the vehicle. Why? The developers have a simple answer: to make it easier to adapt the vehicle settings for each of the travelers. For the driver this means finding the characteristics of the suspension, engine, air conditioner, and even a list of favorite radio stations. In the case of passengers, each of which has access to your monitor, and this means facilitating access to the library’s most respected movies, music or games. If, by the way, the chair automatically adapts to the detected passenger.
Comfort isn’t everything. Be invaluable information that can be obtained through identification. Although nobody mentioned in the press materials, but this knowledge about who travels by car, and what place it occupies, can be invaluable in emergency situations. In the event of a crash, the rescuers know where the travellers in the time of the collision. And do not need a great imagination to foresee that the proliferation of products for monitoring vital signs, rescuers, before arriving on the scene will have access to information about the level of injury to the driver and passengers. And if the ranks of the dedicated to join another insurance company or to the Police, then we are getting closer and closer to the terrible visions of Orwell. But that’s a topic for another story.
