Google might be building its own vehicle infotainment system. Mentions of Android Automotive in the document first appeared in Android 5.1, but looks like it went unnoticed. Google is now on its second revision of the Automotive requirements which offers a peek into the ongoing work on bringing the Android OS to another form. This vehicle system may be far more powerful than Android Auto. This information was hinted with reference in of Android Compatibility Definition Document which was labelled as Android Automotive.
According to a report by ArsTechnica, Android Automotive implementation refers to a vehicle head unit running Android as an infotainment functionality. In addition, the report also points out that this is not for the Android Auto app, but is rather for a Google-certified car operating system that would run directly on the car’s hardware, like Toyota, GM.
Overall, the compatibility test doesn’t mention much content of the outline . Most are about framework of the electronic equipment.There's been speculation that this system can used by the car in the OAA ( Open Automotive Alliance ).
There is also a voicethat the system could also be used in Google self-driving car, hit the market in 2017 with production models. But in terms of the current information,it's far away from talking about product's commercialization.
