Android Automotive is an open-source Linux-based operating system tailored for vehicle dashboards. Unlike its predecessor Android Auto, it is an embedded platform that runs directly on the vehicle hardware, enabling control over HVAC, infotainment, and core car functions without a smartphone connection. It is often bundled with Google Automotive Services (GAS) to provide native access to the Google Play Store and Google Maps.
