...

• Aim: looking for an open - source solution, e.g. VSS/VHAL mapping
  
  
• motivation:
  • as of today, only speed and a few others are available → devs cannot ideate on anything.
  • find the use cases on which to open up for devs, see first lists in First AOSP Data PoC
  • idea: This would be a great opportunity to make vss available to apps directly, then we can define our own permissions.
  • idea: this group to do a joint specification on the data side which goes through list of properties, their specifics. then develop alongside this. 
    
    
• Requirements: Android Vehicle Data Requirements
  
  
• Summary so far: AOSP Data: Use Cases and potential Concepts
