Google has teamed up with Audi, GM, Honda, Hyundai and Nvidia to bring an Android-based system into cars.
The companies have formed the Open Automotive Alliance (OAA) to “accelerate” innovation in the automotive sector.
The alliance will focus on bringing the successful mobile operating system to in-car entertainment systems “in a way that is purpose built for cars.” The first cars with Android integration are planned for launch by the end of 2014, The Verge said.
The alliance is working with the National Highways Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in order to ensure the system is safe for in-car use.
