( TRACK 1 - AAOS SDV & AOSP )
Engineering the Software-Defined Vehicle
Geared towards platform architects and system engineers, this track dives into the newly announced AAOS SDV platform and its role in modernizing vehicle E/E architectures. We will explore the shift toward a "headless" Android native stack that controls everything from seat actuators to climate systems, utilizing AI-powered virtual prototyping and digital twins (via Cuttlefish and Google Cloud) to accelerate R&D. Attendees will gain technical insights into AOSP modularity, secure OTA update frameworks, and the implementation of AI training feedback loops that turn vehicle telemetry into continuous performance improvements.
( TRACK 2: THE APP ECOSYSTEM )
Creating the Intelligent Cabin
This track focuses on the evolution of the in-car experience, moving from simple screen mirroring to deeply integrated, AI-enhanced applications. Developers will learn to leverage Android Automotive OS (AAOS) to build apps that utilize real-time vehicle data, exploring how Generative AI and LLMs can transform voice assistants into proactive co-pilots. From mastering the latest Car App Library templates for media and navigation to designing multimodal interfaces that ensure driver safety, this track provides the roadmap for bringing the next generation of intelligent, personalized digital services directly into the dashboard.
