For the entire list of changes in v1.2 beta, please see the release notes. Now, developers can begin building and testing apps for these categories using the Automotive OS emulator across both Android Automotive OS and Android Auto. Today we’re announcing the availability of version 1.2 beta of the Car App Library, enabling app developers to start building their navigation, parking, and charging apps for Android Automotive OS. AAOS only allows for media and navigation apps, and even the media apps don't get a custom interface-you just plug into Google's interface with your own branding and audio stream, which alleviates the regulatory burden but limits what apps can do.Posted by Madan Ankapura, Product Manager This is incredibly difficult, expensive, and time-consuming for app developers, which is a big reason Android Automotive only has 37 apps right now. In-car infotainment systems are heavily regulated due to safety concerns to the point that every app and individual interface needs to be vetted by regulatory bodies around the world. The app situation on Android Automotive is tough. Sometimes Google or car manufacturers will call AAOS "cars with Google built-in."
Android Automotive is pretty rare out there in the world, but you'll see it on new Volvo/Polestar, Ford, and GM cars, mostly. AAOS has a car version of the Play Store, where you can download apps directly to your car, and it's this platform that Waze is arriving on. Even if there's an iPhone in your pocket, your car runs Android on the car's internal computer instead of something like Linux or QNX. Cars have infotainment computers in them, and Android Automotive OS (AAOS) has the car run Android. Automotive, the fully spelled-out version, is a full operating system instead of an app. Today's announcement is for Android Automotive, a different product from Android Auto. Waze has been on Android Auto since 2017. This is Google's version of CarPlay-an app that runs on your phone but projects a special car interface to your vehicle's dashboard display, showing off Google Maps and compatible Android Auto apps on your phone.
