Google creates Fiat car system based on Android – Spider’s Web

Android in the car? But this is real, not okrojonym the release of Android Auto, managing all that is possible? Yes, that’s the plan.

at least, it looks like this plan in the performance of FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles), which announced today the expansion of cooperation with Google. Because until now the FCA has put Google ARVI cars for testing and development of Autonomous cars, so now Google will provide FCA of Android, which creates a new version of the Uconnect system.

At the bottom of Android on the mountain… something else.

the end result will not look like the one in countless Chinese radio/nawigacjach with a full-fledged Android is supported as well as on your tablet or smartphone. The new, yet the concept car, the Uconnect system will, however, Android in version 7.0, but the top layer is embellished with trim of the car manufacturer. How it will precisely look like, we will be able to find out during CES, which starts in a few days and have to attend Martin Połowianiuk.

As to the users? First and foremost, the availability of Google services and external apps, which on Android, after all, a dime a dozen, and that often in vain look for in the version of car.

the FCA and will have control over what the client sees when you start the screen in the car. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay look – and thank them for it – in the same way in every car. If we get in available Skoda, or astronomically expensive Ferrari. Same features, same appearance. In this market, where it is necessary to diversify at any price, consent to it comes with great difficulty. Although, it should be noted, FCA will offer Android Auto and CarPlay from Uconnecta in version 8.4, although only three car models – Chryslerze 300 and two models of the Dodge.

That will get Google? Of course, the emergence in the next place in our lives. Yes, the Android attempt upychać already on the car screen a few times (as, for example, in Sensus Connected Touch Volvo), but never the experience was particularly pleasant. Also because Android apparently didn’t have it ready.

Now it is otherwise.

Google in the first half of last year showed how it can – and maybe, or rather: how it will look – Android fully owning the whole machine. From the navigation settings, after installing the air conditioner.

even then, was not, however, it is no secret that Google can allow to the producers of this car Android imposed their own overlays, maybe even set your range of available functions. As you can see, this plan is gradually coming to life, although not given yet, when a new generation Uconnecta will go to the cars in showrooms.

When he finally goes, we will have in the market is very honest mess. Some cars have a system from automobile manufacturers, with overlays from manufacturers. Part and system from electronics manufacturers with lining car manufacturers. Part something else.

it should be nice and straight.
