Android could literally drive you. Crazy.
Google and display-pioneer Nvidia are teaming up with automakers Audi, GM, Honda, and Hyundai to form the Open Automotive Alliance. Their goal is simple: get the Andriod OS safely integrated into cars. In 2014.
Cars today have a deep technology footprint, with Tesla the current front runner. Yes, the car gets frequent firmware updates.
I doubt we'll see Android controlling the function of a car anytime soon. But I do expect not just OS integration, but also plenty of stand-alone offerings powered by Android, like headsup displays, communication centers, and entertainment integrations.
