Automotive Grade Android Management Summary
Automotive Grade Android - AGA VISION Open-innovation ecosystem for in-vehicle software and connected services CORNER STONES Open-source (Apache) Piggy-back on a large, dynamic eco-system (Android) Lean framework, stays in sync with Android Mechanisms to ensure only safe operations while driving Enables access to vehicle signals (API to FMS) Enables access to apps in Google Play
Vehicle ICT Arena Offer for Developers Developer Zone an open and shared community an open portal enabling downloads of artefacts and information SDK software libraries and interfaces enabling infotainment application development for vehicles Developer Guidelines a collection that eases how to write safe and automotive adapted applications Simulation Environment tools for developers enabling test without having access to a real target environment Reference Platform the AGA SDK is deployable on hardware http://developer.lindholmen.se/
FMS Signals in AGA API Configuration and Identification: VIN, Brand, Model, FuelType Personalization DriverIdentification, seatadjustment, mirrorpan/tilt Running Status Acceleration, vehiclespeed, Maintenance: batterystatus, Odometer, malfunctionindicator, Driving Safety AirbagStatus, ABS enabled/engaged Climate Temperature, RainSensor, WiperStatus, Vision and Parking LaneDepartureDetection, ParkingBrake,...

Business drivers and example of use cases
Business Drivers The connected eco-system will grow rapidly when installed base of open innovation platforms reach critical mass Automotive Grade Android can piggy back on the existing large Android eco-system Open integrated platforms will be there but there will be many different kinds from various OEM s initially - to enable the connected eco-system and open collaboration The app store model is well suited to manage the collaboration model between OEM s, aftermarket suppliers and 3PP service providers, especially when a wider range of aftermarket services are required The existing app store 70/30 split model might work, but for B2B it might need to offer additional business models
Use Case #1: Truck OEM App store model Description The OEM factory fit in-vehicle units in new trucks The OEM provide cloud portal with back-end and application management Customer offer The OEM market its own brand as leading in-vehicle integrator and cloudportal Controlled access and management of vehicle data Safe use of systems while driving Customer specific business integration and accessories by local suppliers Enabling safe use of third party apps and services in the in-vehicle infotainment systems System and Services Upgradeable on aftermarket Business driver Additional revenue from IVU and own services Enabling additional revenue from connectivity services at low cost Increase business innovation and technical innovation
Use Case #2: After Market Connectivity Supplier Description The AM Connectivity Supplier provide a complete customer adapted solution, integrates the in-vehicle unit towards the OEMs open interface, provide cloud portal with a back-end, application management and services Customer offer Customer specific solution Controlled access and management of vehicle data Safe use of systems while driving Enabling Android apps from Google Play to be used in the in-vehicle system Business driver Revenue from complete solution (products and services) app-store, IVU and own services Enabling 3PP connectivity services at low investment
Use Case #3: App service supplier Description The App service supplier provide a complete customer adapted services Customer offer Customer adaptation of generic service Business driver Revenue from connectivity services

Automotive Grade Android Final Summary
Dev Zone AGA - Summary Our vision is to develop an open innovation global eco-system for invehicle software and connected services based on open source. Developers Zone for Automotive Grade Android is launched for open source on September 4th 2014 developer.lindholmen.se Hosted by Vehicle ICT Arena, Lindholmen Science Park Governance of Developers Zone by Combitech AB
Back-up
OAA and AGA The Open Automotive Alliance has presented a non-ivi solution, similar to MirrorLink and CarPlay, where you connect your Android device via USB to access Android applications. It is called Android Auto. The IVI system can be Android Auto enabled using Automotive Grade Android The Automotive Grade Android is an IVI solution based on Android, that extends the APIs to include access to Vehicle data and driver distraction information
GENIVI and AGA The Genivi IVI solution is based on open source software, but does not include a defined API that provides access to Vehicle data and driver distraction information The Automotive Grade Android is an IVI solution based on Android, that extends the APIs to include access to Vehicle data and driver distraction information
