Magneti Marelli Joins The Open Automotive Alliance

Magneti Marelli is focused on bringing the Android experience into infotainment solutions in the automotive environment by the end of 2016.

Magneti-Marelli-LogoMagneti Marelli has joined the Open Automotive Alliance (OAA), an alliance of technology and auto industry leaders committed to making Android solutions available in cars. The announcement was made during Google I/O, Google’s developer conference taking place last week in San Francisco.

Android Auto brings the Android experience into the car by “projecting” apps and services to the screen in your dash, and is designed to make it safer and easier to get the information drivers need when they’re on the road. This feature is enabled through an interface for applications and services, which is specifically designed to meet the in-vehicle requirements.

Magneti Marelli says it will deliver in-vehicle infotainment systems equipped with this function as a product for an automobile manufacturer by the end of 2016.
