Get in the fast lane; Android Automotive OS
summary
Snapp Automotive builds Android Automotive OS images for multiple head units and reports concrete lessons: they ship Android Automotive OS builds and a working charging-station app and find templates restrict UI changes to colors and text so customization is limited to a few fields, templates are a fixed set, and development cycles are long. Testing on real vehicles reveals network and charging-speed inconsistencies that break features, and integrating with vehicle CAN/firmware requires custom interfaces and repeated in-car testing under different OEM systems using standard Android tooling.
