Android Automotive OS

Cabin

Open-source AAOS design language and dual UI kit — Compose + Views, compliance-first.

A Material Design 3–class platform purpose-built for the vehicle cabin — glanceable, quiet, and safe by default. Dual UI stacks share tokens and compliance; OEMs brand without forking.

Product pillars

Every feature must pass these five. Details in the pillars doc.

Glanceable

Readable in under a second, at speed, in day and night.

Quiet

Fewer elements. Stronger hierarchy. Chrome stays out of the way.

Safe by default

Driving and UX restrictions shape the UI — not a post-hoc checklist.

One language, two skins

Compose and Views share meaning; OEM brand sits on tokens and RROs.

Thin by design

Adopt one module without dragging samples, catalog, or this website.

Dual stack, dual distribution

Jetpack Compose

Modern app and media experiences. Preferred for application surfaces once MVP chrome is in place.

Views / Soong

SystemUI, status bar, and build-tree apps stay Views-first via Soong modules — not Gradle implementation into platform images.

Early docs shell

This site is a thin production shell. It reads from the repository docs/ tree. Interactive catalogs and live demos are not implemented yet.
