KOBE, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FUJITSU
TEN LIMITED has joined the Open Automotive Alliance™ (OAA). The OAA
is a global alliance of technology and auto industry leaders committed
to bringing the Android™ to cars starting in 2014. The OAA is dedicated
to a common platform that will drive innovation, and make technology in
the car safer and more intuitive for everyone.
Android Auto™ which
was announced at the Google I/O brings all the apps drivers know and
love, through an interface that’s built for driving. After connecting an
Android phone to a compatible car, drivers will be able to “project”
their experience onto their car’s in-dash display, giving them access to
apps and services which have been optimized for the car with voice input
and glanceable controls.
We are going to provide the in-vehicle
infotainment systems equipped with this function as a product for an
automobile manufacturer at the fiscal 2015.
Through this alliance, FUJITSU TEN believes that the ecosystem surrounding in-vehicle infotainment systems and Android devices will expand comfort and convenience for customers. Based on our years of experience developing products in this field, we believe it will lead to improvements in the manufacturing of vehicles.
