.In my last post Andriod coming to desktop I wrote about how this plan from the google can be the end of the dominance of Microsoft. Already with one
billion users activated android operating system in mobile and media devices,
Google’s Android is ready to make an impact on another industry none other than
automobile. Some of the world’s leading player in automobile sector is working
with google to use android software into vehicle infotainment systems. It will be
interesting to see the outcome of this alliance. Noticing the need that our lives lacked true
connectivity with cars, Google announced the OAA (Open Auto Alliance) with
partners like Audi, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai and the chip making company
Nvidia.
Extending the success of the android system to use it in car is
the aim of 2014.The OAA says that they are actually providing a common platform
for providing this service and make the dream of millions of people. This
concept will raise curiosity and drive innovation which will help in making the
technology used in car safer and more comfortable for everyone. This development
will help companies as well as the drivers in giving them a memorable driving
experience. We can see that millions of people are
already familiar with Android and using it every day. The use of the Android platform into
automotive will allow the automobile industry partners to more easily introduce
this mobile technology into car. It will
not only help the people in safety but also in improving the driving experience.
The OAA aim is to enhance the automobile sector with an
approach that offers openness, customization and dependence on Android as it is
a familiar part of millions of people's. The worlds of common people and
automotive technologies have never been so closely associated, and this association
will give the way for faster innovation. As working towards a common benefit by
making this technology in practice gives driver safety above all.
This partnership will bring the
vehicles into the owner’s digital lives and their digital lives into their
vehicles they use. There are lots of opportunities for the Android platform
paired with many other areas.
The car will be the ultimate mobile
computer. With android the supercomputing chips, futuristic cars of everyone’s
dream will no longer be a science fiction as companies are making it true. The
processor is capable of driving so many functions like camera-based and many advanced driver assistance systems
which are really going to a biggest innovation in this industry. It will monitor
driver alertness by a camera set on its dash-board. NVIDIA which is famous for
making chips and already made chips for more than 4 million cars which includes
the newest models from most reputed automobile like Audi, BMW and Volkswagen.
While there is no guess on the first car with this technology will come
in market. We can expect it in coming months. The open auto alliance has also
invited many other automobile companies to join this. So let’s wait and watch
how actually this technology will help in the automobile sector.
