On June 25-26 at the Google I/O conference in San Francisco, Google will unveil a new operating system to rival Apple's CarPlay, sources told Automotive News.
Known internally as Google Auto Link (GAL), the system is the first product to emerge from the Open Automotive Alliance, a Google-led consortium that also includes Audi, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, and chipmaker NVIDIA.
Apparently, GAL is not an embedded infotainment system, but rather a “projected” system. In other words, smartphones using Google’s Android operating system could be controlled via the car’s own controls and display screen.
No word yet on which vehicles will integrate GAL first.
