Renault-Nissan adopts Android for car infotainment system
- Wednesday | 19th September, 2018
PARIS (Reuters) – The Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi carmaking alliance said on Tuesday it will adopt Alphabet’s Google Android operating system, handing a victory to the US tech giant as it pushes for a bigger share of the infotainment market. “More carmakers could follow suit and partner with Google.”Until now, carmakers have largely chosen Linux, Microsoft or QNX software to power infotainment. Some smaller manufacturers such as Volvo Cars have decided to embed Android Auto in their vehicles. After nearly two decades of partnership, Renault and Nissan are still integrating their own technologies, a process often fraught with tension. Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi, with combined sales of 10.6 million vehicles last year, said future models will “integrate Google applications and services” including Maps and the voice-commanded Google Assistant.
