Android Automotive offers a familiar and intuitive interface for users accustomed to the Android ecosystem. This translates to quicker adoption and a more enjoyable in-vehicle experience, potentially boosting customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
Leverage the power of Android’s existing codebase and infrastructure, minimizing development time and resource allocation.
By utilizing the established Android framework, OEMs can expedite the development process for in-vehicle infotainment systems, capitalize on emerging trends, and deliver cutting-edge features quicker, enhancing competitiveness.
Benefit from a vibrant app ecosystem, opening doors to new revenue streams through in-car app purchases and subscriptions.
Android Automotive embraces over-the-air (OTA) updates, ensuring the infotainment system receives continuous improvements and security patches throughout its lifespan.
Android Automotive is a full-stack, open-source platform running directly on in-vehicle hardware, offering a customizable operating system for infotainment systems. Unlike Android Auto, which projects a smartphone interface onto the car’s display, Android Automotive operates independently without relying on a smartphone connection.
Acsia offers end-to-end expertise in Android Automotive, covering customized platform development, virtualization, ADAS integration, CI/CD/CT infrastructure, OTA updates, and HMI design.
What sets the company apart is the full-stack expertise and in-house tools accelerators TITAN for efficient software deployment. Acsia has also productised Android Automotive 14. The company’s working demo showcases multi-user, multi-display capabilities, vehicle zone configurations, automated HMI testing, and advanced customization for next-gen automotive infotainment.
To meet OEM-specific requirements, Acsia customizes Android Automotive across audio, media, power management, Ethernet, Bluetooth, and data persistence, ensuring seamless integration with each manufacturer’s needs.
Acsia’s solution accelerator TITAN offers Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment, and Continuous Testing (CI/CD/CT) tailored for automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs). This approach streamlines the development process, enhances software quality, and accelerates time-to-market for Android Automotive applications.
Acsia enables software development without the need for target hardware through virtualized Android platform development. The company’s solution accelerator MAYAAVI, is a virtualized development platform for Android completely deployable on AWS. This allows for more flexible and efficient development cycles, reducing costs and time associated with hardware dependencies.
