Imagine a car so smart that it knows what maps you control on your smartphone and shows them on your dashboard without having to leave the steering wheel. At the same time, your favorite music will play from your cloud.
That's the dream that will soon be realized by Google, which is rumored to have just announced a partnership with several automakers and more to bring Android to cars. Google's collaboration with Audi, GM, the Hyundai, Honda and Nvidia, with the name Open Automotive Alliance (OAA) has the task of creating applications that will work seamlessly between vehicles and mobile devices.
Google said that many people have already brought Android to cars by simply using a mount from their phones to the dashboard, but as the company says this is not the best way. The best way, as described by Google, would be to use built-in controls in the material of the car.
It sounds very sensible, he says, but it is the main problem, which is that the dashboard of the car is not upgraded as often as the phones are upgraded. Obviously, its membership Nvidia in the deal, which just announced a strong chip Tegra K1 , is part of the answer. The chip has applications for use in the car.
