Job description
Android Automotive is an operating system created by Google based on the Android platform you know from phones, tablets or tv’s. Most cars delivered nowadays use this platform for their infotainment system, often without users knowing this.
As infotainment systems are often bought from a company specializing in those kinds of systems, our department does not have a deep knowledge on this platform. Therefore, we want to setup a development platform for experimenting with this operating system.
This task includes:
- Setting up a test platform that runs Android Automotive OS;
- Creating a hello world app that runs on this system;
- Creating other apps that showcase limits of the system;
- Documenting your methods in a report.
Possible extensions:
- Extending your app to communicate with automotive hardware;
- Working out a test strategy to automatically test Android Automotive apps.
