Automobile manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) has become a member of Open Automotive Alliance (OAA), a global alliance of vehicle manufacturers. The alliance has committed to bring Android platform to cars.
The announcement was made at Google I/O, Google's developer conference in San Francisco, the company said in a statement.
“Going forward, after successful integration, we will be offering Android Auto in our flagship models of XUV500, Scorpio and on our future platforms. I am confident that this will help us in taking a quantum leap in offering connectivity solutions to our customers,” said Pravin Shah, President and Chief Executive (Automotive) at M&M.
Android Auto extends the Android platform into the car in a way that is purpose-built for driving. It offers connectivity by linking smart phones and tablets with an in-vehicle infotainment system.
