In 2014 Google introduced Android Auto to the world. Android Auto is Google's take on how assistive / contextually aware infotainment systems should work prioritizing a low cognitive load and user safety.
For this effort I am the lead designer for HMI definition and integration. I work in close collaboration with our partners to decide the best way to implement Android Auto on their vehicles, supporting multiple interaction paradigms (direct manipulation, traditional HMI, etc), branding & differentiation concerns and coexistence with native infotainment systems.
