According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Mountain view, Google is partnering up with German auto maker Audi and expected to announce a new Android based in car entertainment system. This Google’s in care Android efforts are not just for Audi, it will be collaborating with other Auto makers as well, at the event. The collaboration will also involve NVIDIA
Google’s big plan for putting Android in cars has started, this Android will run on hardware built directly into the car instead of your Smart phone. This will give you access to the music, navigation, entertainment and communication functions available on your Smart phone device. Recently Audi announced LTE for selected models.
Before this, Apple has introduced its iOS in the car, supported by BMW, Daimler and others, so we can consider this move from Google as rivalry. Google needs to consider domestic car makers also before anyone else gets there. We will remain dubious until a demo gets in our way. This tie up gets underway in Las Vegas on 7th of January, but we are not sure if Google will make this partnership official.
Next week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Google and German auto maker Audi AG plan to announce that they are working together to develop in-car entertainment and information systems that are based on Google’s Android software, people familiar with the matter said- Wrote WSJ (Wall Street Journal)
We could not find any more details about this, but with CES very close by we can expect to hear from Google very soon. One can expect this to be a major improvement in the technology field making life simpler and easier, but again we cannot predict that until we come with a demo of its working.
We are pretty much excited to get this news and hoping to see automobiles running with Android very soon. Do check out for the updates about this when Audi showcases the actual development very soon.
