Android infotainment system - A prototype based on Android Automotive

This master thesis project focuses on the development of Android applications for the automotive sector. The aim is to develop a prototype of an infotainment system based on Android Automotive operating system. The goal of the work will be to create a user interface for the cars of the future using a Qualcomm development board with a processor Snapdragon 820Am on which the latest version of the Android Automotive system is available (Oreo 8.1). So, it is needed an interaction with the system at every level in order to customize its operation. To achieve this purpose, it was requested the development of one or more native applications, oriented to the use on board the vehicle, the personalization of applications already available within the Android platform and interaction with Google Automotive Services. The work done for the realization of this master thesis has been developed in collaboration with Magneti Marelli in Venaria Reale.
