Android is still the most popular operating system for mobile terminals, those from Google having a huge success with it until now, and it is expected that this will continue. Meanwhile, those from Google have announced that they are expanding their partnerships with car manufacturers, so that Android Automotive will run in several car models separately from those in which the Android-based operating system has already been integrated.
Android is already offered to car manufacturers in the form of Android Auto, a special interface for car infotainment systems that can only be used by connecting a phone to cars. Android Automotive is something much more complex, which can work even without an Android operating system phone connected to the car, but which also has more extensive integration for Google services.
Android: Google Confirms the Colossal Change Made in 2021
Android is going to have this special version integrated into no less than 10 new car models in 2021, which is a big change from what we've seen so far. Google wants to bring Android Automotive to as many cars as possible as soon as possible to increase the level of adoption of Android phones worldwide, but everything depends to a great extent on the car manufacturers.
Android will allow car owners to enjoy an experience clearly superior to that offered by conventional car infotainment systems, which is great news. Thanks to the way in which Android Automotive is thought, certain special applications for Android will be able to take even important information from cars, such as the charge level of the battery, plus other diagnostic data, something that until now was not thought possible.
Android still needs a lot of changes, even in this special version for cars, but Google seems to be quite determined to implement them all as soon as possible.
