Google Maps runs on the
Polestar 2's large central
dashboard screen. It's
native to the vehicle and
no phone is needed.

Ramic appreciates the importance of privacy.
" Messaging should remain on your personal device
rather than something that stays in the car, " he said.
Fellow passengers, or somebody who takes your car
for a spin, should not be able to see all your messages.
The operating system also has features designed to
remotely wipe out account info before the vehicle is
passed to a second owner or in case of theft. 

A framework of core features
Over-the-air updates and voice recognition are integral to AAOS. And so are functions that help sort out
the competing demands on users' attention, such as
adjusting music volume or pausing an audiobook for

Automotive OS.

an incoming phone call.
The interplay is managed via a hardware abstraction layer (HAL). That's
what defines the vehicle properties that OEMs and third-party developers
can implement via the CAN bus, Ethernet or other mechanisms. Ramic
and his team understand that every vehicle model is different. He compared the vehicle, as a piece of hardware, to how Samsung Galaxy and
Google Pixel phones are different - yet they both operate on Android.
" Every phone partner adapts it to fit their screen for different sets
of services, microphones, and cameras, " said Ramic. " There are lots
of things that come on top of it. "  
How core vehicle functions are controlled via AAOS and apps is
determined by the automaker; Google provides the operating system. And Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft will provide operating systems to other automakers. But ultimately, dashboard design, safety,
privacy and security remain the OEM's responsibility.
