Title

It's time to develop apps for Android cars

Description

• The automotive world is going Android — and now is the perfect time to start building for it. With millions of vehicles shipping with Android Automotive OS (AAOS) across leading brands like Volvo, GM, Stellantis, and more, the in-car app ecosystem is growing fast — and so is the opportunity for Android developers.
• In this session, we’ll kick off with a snapshot of the Android Automotive market: who's using it, how it varies across OEMs, and what that means for you.
• Next, we’ll dive into how to build AAOS apps using official templates, walk through the distribution options, and discuss one of the platform’s biggest challenges — fragmentation.
• You'll also get a look at how COVESA, the leading open alliance in the automotive software space, is tackling fragmentation with the Automotive AOSP initiative.
• Finally, we’ll show a real-world developer demo: implementing push notifications in Android Automotive — yes, notifications for cars! See how this works under the hood, and how you can bring similar innovations into your apps.
