They're using Android?
I think they'd be much better off using something like Automotive Grade Linux.
Google's car ambitions have been pretty disastrous, including the newer Volvos. Reviews of the Volvo Android Automotive infotainment are just awful. And I don't trust Google to not abandon it.
- the_pwner224 3y agoBMW is also moving from AGL to Android. But they're only using Android as an OS; the user facing UI isn't going to change. And it's not integrated with Google. That's different from Android Automotive / Volvo where the basic UI comes form Google and the stack is full of Google integration. BMW's method of using Android as the underlying OS seems like a reasonable option to me. Not sure what exactly Porsche is doing here.
