Android Arriving in Cars in 2014

android304Google opened up CES by unveiling a new partnership that will bring its open source Android platform to a number of automakers this year.

The tech giant partnered with Audi, GM, Honda, Hyundai and chip-maker Nvidia to create the Open Automotive Alliance. The group said it wanted to bring a “seamless” mobile experience to the ultimate mobile device: the car. Here’s more from Patrick Brady, director of engineering for Android, who blogged the news Monday:

Wouldn’t it be great if you could bring your favorite apps and music with you, and use them safely with your car’s built-in controls and in-dash display? Together with our OAA partners, we’re working to enable new forms of integration with Android devices, and adapting Android for the car to make driving safer, easier and more enjoyable for everyone.
