Volvo Innovation Portal eases in-car app development
1 February 2021 4:46 pm / 0 comments
Downloading and using applications are a big part of the smartphone experience, and with Volvo already adopting Android as an operating system in its cars, it was only a matter of time before that experience would be ported over to the automotive world. The Swedish carmaker has launched an Innovation Portal to help third-party developers create apps for its vehicles, enabling increased functionality and personalisation.
The portal provides free resources and tools for the budding app maker, including an emulator for the Android Automotive Operating System and its associated Google apps. This enables users to recreate Volvo’s interface on their own computers, making it easier for them to design, develop, test and publish apps directly to the car’s Google Play store.
