“An AAOS program needs architecture guidance across Android services, vehicle properties and HAL/VHAL boundaries.”
All consulting solutions
ANDROID → VEHICLE → HAL/VHAL → SERVICES → DIAGNOSE
Automotive & AAOS
Architecture, integration and troubleshooting support for Android Automotive OS and connected vehicle-platform engineering.
Typical client situations
Recognize the problem before choosing the solution.
These are representative situations, not prerequisites for engagement.
“Vehicle signals or services are not behaving consistently across the platform stack.”
“A team needs an independent review of integration, diagnostics, performance or security before a release milestone.”
“An organization is building AAOS capability and needs a pragmatic platform roadmap alongside training.”
