What is Android Automotive?
- Android Automotive (AAOS) is a specialized version of Android designed for In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems.
- It requires developers to follow automotive UI guidelines.
- Our emulator bridges the gap for developers who lack access to real vehicle hardware.
- It integrates a customizable Vehicle Hardware Abstraction Layer (VHAL) over the gRPC protocol.
- This enables you to read/write vehicle properties programmatically and test your applications in a fully virtualized automotive environment.
- You can simulate GPS location changes and vehicle movement.
- This makes it easy to test route-based applications, navigation features, and geofencing scenarios.
- You can replay GPS traces by injecting the coordinates within the virtual device.
- In a real vehicle, the Vehicle HAL communicates with various vehicle sensors and ECUs (Electronic Control Units) to retrieve and expose the values of these parameters.
- As you may not have access to any real hardware, Genymotion can dynamically adjust vehicle parameters such as speed, fuel level, and engine state to test use cases under various driving conditions.
