SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps engineers build Android applications for in-vehicle systems while staying aligned with driver distraction rules, automotive permissions, and AAOS platform requirements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Car App Library guidance for navigation, POI, media, messaging, list, and map templates.
  • CarService integration for vehicle properties, HVAC, audio, and other car platform APIs.
  • Automotive manifest, build, and AOSP packaging guidance for AAOS and privileged apps.
  • Use it to design a distraction-safe navigation experience, integrate climate controls, or troubleshoot a template rejected by automotive UX restrictions.

Quick Start

Ask for an AAOS implementation plan for your feature, including the correct templates, permissions, manifest entries, and distraction-optimization checks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build Android Automotive OS apps that comply with driver distraction rules?

To build Android Automotive OS apps that comply with driver distraction rules, use the Car App Library templates and validate Car UX Restrictions to ensure your UI meets automotive safety constraints. This includes selecting approved templates for navigation or media and enforcing distraction-optimization checks.

How do I integrate CarService to access vehicle properties and HVAC controls in AAOS?

Integrate CarService in AAOS by accessing vehicle properties and HVAC controls through safe background-thread vehicle APIs. You must request privileged car permissions and configure the automotive manifest correctly to interact with car platform APIs for climate control and vehicle data.

What are Car App Library templates and when do I need them for in-vehicle apps?

Car App Library templates are pre-built UI structures for navigation, POI, media, messaging, and lists in in-vehicle apps. You need them when designing AAOS applications to ensure the interface adheres to automotive UX constraints and prevents driver distraction.

Why does my AAOS app template get rejected by automotive UX restrictions?

Your AAOS app template gets rejected by automotive UX restrictions when it violates template limits or driver distraction rules. You must validate Car UX Restrictions and ensure your UI design adheres to the Car App Library's safety constraints for in-vehicle use.

Do I need privileged car permissions for AOSP product integration?

Yes, you need privileged car permissions for AOSP product integration to securely access vehicle properties and CarService APIs. You must configure the automotive manifest and AOSP packaging guidance to properly deploy privileged apps within the AAOS platform.
