Google and several automakers have teamed up to create the Open Automotive Alliance, a consortium that aims to develop cars compatible with Android system later this year. Group belong to Audi, General Motors (owner of Opel, among other brands), Honda, Hyundai, and even Nvidia, which develops graphics cards and processors for mobile devices.
The group, which is open to the entry of other brands, will create technology to provide online services in the car and to allow integration between cars and tablets and the driver and passenger Android phones. The companies involved seem to recognize that the habit of sending messages, do research and check their email or Facebook while driving is a problem: “The drivers already are trying to access mobile services when they are on the road but not always integrated or safely, “reads the consortium, which explains that the aim is to provide these services without attention to be diverted from the highway site.
initiative resembles the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of technology companies created by Google in 2007 and is responsible for the Android. Was formed with the idea to provide an operating system for mobile phones that could be used by any company. After a timid start, the Android has finally become the most popular platform in the market both on mobile phones and tablets .
The announcement of the OpenAutomotive Alliance was made on Monday to coincide with the start of the fair Tech Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas, which is the most important event in the consumer electronics sector. Officially, CES begins on Tuesday, but Eve is traditionally used by various companies to submit news.
On Friday, are usually presented products brands expect to become consumer trends, although this does not always happen. In 2010, for example, computer makers have tried to promote the concept of smartbook, a kind of hybrid of computer and mobile phone, which eventually overlooked when Apple released that year, the first iPad.
As has happened in recent years, car manufacturers will be present at CES. According to the organization, the 2014 edition has a record-number of car brands, which include BMW, Audi, Ford and Mercedes.
On the one hand, manufacturers have made cars more compatible with personal devices have become ubiquitous and have also created functionality to harness the potential of an Internet connection. On the other, they are using technology to provide multiple types of driving assistance systems or even to develop cars capable of conducting themselves -. Innovation that brands expect to bring to market sometime around the end of this decade
