Volvo to develop in-house vehicle OS and extend Android Automotive capabilities
Swedish auto maker Volvo has announced it is to take software development in-house, with vehicles’ appeal increasingly becoming more defined by software-driven functions and features than by traditional automotive attributes.
The next generation of electric Volvo models, including the company’s first SUV on a new electric-only platform, will run on its own operating system (OS), called VolvoCars.OS, which the manufacturer says will enable faster and more flexible development.
VolvoCars.OS will act as an umbrella system for the brand’s EVs, and will incorporate the company’s various operating systems across the car and the cloud, creating one coherent software OS environment.
