Happy Android Auto Thursday!!!!!

Just remember that "There is no road too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; there are no honors too distant to the man who prepares himself for them with patience.” — Jean de la Bruyere

Four Thursdays left in the fall after today. I'm hoping for a nice Christmas present.

Let's hope the Google certification team isn't taking too much time off over the holidays!

What's involved in Google's review and approval anyway? "Yeah, I guess it fits OK in that funny shaped screen."
Before someone points it out... I'm just funnin'. There's GOT to be more to it than that, right? Right?

Five (very high-level) stages:

1. Submit the application: the application information includes the company name, brand information, product sales plan, target sales area, contact person, etc.
2. Sign an agreement: Google reviews the application information and signs an applicable Android Auto agreement with the manufacturer.
3. Product development testing: Manufacturers develop products according to Google's implementation standards and conduct internal testing.
4. 3PL test: test in an independent testing agency approved by Google.
5. Review and approval: Google reviews the product plan, specifications and test results submitted by the manufacturer, and the product is approved after the review is passed.

The Android Auto test content includes seven major items and a total of 182 sub-items, namely PCTS, Sensor Log, Qsuite, VRRT, Performance Test, Plugbot, AOAP, and a road test.

I suspect Lucid is likely in Stage 5, possibly Stage 4. But I don't know.

Here is a random flowchart off a random website that is a 3PL.

Ignore the 90% pass rate, that's not a general comment, but a marketing comment for this random 3PL, which claims they have a 90% PCTS pass rate.

Anyway, the issue isn't that it's all that complex; it's that it's a rigorous and thorough process, in which some of the stages are directly out of Lucid's control, very intentionally.

Fingers crossed we will see some indication of Android Auto rolling out starting tomorrow. After that I think only 2 Thursdays left.

Happy Thursday. I would note that the OTA Showcase Event is scheduled for next Thursday. Anyone else thinking an AA announcement could be part of it?

I heard this is going to be the CarPlay 2.0 release.

You don't have it yet?

 

[Samo23]

I'm calling it, December 19th release date

That would make it the last possible Thursday this Fall. Hopefully you are right. All indicators show that there is another sizeable release coming up based on the previous releases schedule and OTA event. The question is will it include AA or do we have to wait longer due to Google certification delays.

I'm guessing cert delays give them an out on the end of year commitment

I hope it's more than that- like what if it's the best implementation of Android auto in any vehicle ever?!
