Android operating system version for car infotainment systems

For the application intended for using an Android device in a vehicle, see Android Auto.
Android Automotive aka Android Automotive OS or AAOS is a variation of Google’s Android operating system, tailored for its use in vehicle dashboards. Introduced in March 2017,[1] the platform was developed by Google and Intel,[2] together with car manufacturers such as Volvo and Audi.[3] The project aims to provide an operating system codebase for vehicle manufacturers to develop their own version of the operating system. Besides infotainment tasks, such as messaging, navigation and music playback, the operating system aims to handle vehicle-specific functions such as controlling the air conditioning.[3]
In contrast to Android Auto, Android Automotive is a full operating system running on the vehicle’s device, not relying on a smartphone to operate.[4]
Android Automotive is an open source operating system and as such, a car manufacturer can use it without the Google Automotive Services (GAS),[5][better source needed] which are a collection of applications and services (Google Maps, Google Play, Google Assistant, etc.) that OEMs can license and integrate into their in-vehicle infotainment systems. Volvo, Ford and GM are using AAOS with GAS, where Stellantis didn’t licence GAS and uses Alexa and TomTom.
