BMW will use AndroidAuto Open Source for the new OS that will grace its 2024 vehicles, and privacy was a driving factor.
Check out our complete coverage of CES 2023 live from Las Vegas At CES 2023, BMW announced that its OS 9 platform, slated for release in 2024, will be the company’s first built entirely on the Android Auto Open Source platform. With the update, BMW will adopt a more map-centric approach and weave more third-party apps into its operating system.
Related One important distinction: AAOS is not the same as Google Automotive Services , which you find in Volvo and Ford vehicles. BMW wanted to refrain from licensing a fully integrated in-car platform, and there are many data privacy concessions the automaker would have to make. Implementing GAS essentially gives Google access to all your data, and that makes BMW uncomfortable.
AAOS allows BMW to manage its software stack, implement third-party apps, and create a more fluid user interface. The AAOS developer guidelines suggest auto companies brand their apps, too, so BMW can continue to build its own apps while using the AAOS app design ethos.
