From March 2023, the BMW Group will be expanding its BMW Operating
System 8 and integrating Android Automotive OS (AAOS) into certain
model series for the first time as a second technological approach
alongside the current Linux-based variant. The announcement was made
by Stephan Durach, Senior Vice-President Connected Company and
Development Technical Operations at the BMW Group, at the
Automobil-Elektronik Kongress in Ludwigsburg. “We are integrating the
best aspects of all worlds – that could be our own in-house
developments, Open Source or commercial software products, depending
on what the specific solution looks like. We make sure our customers
always enjoy a unique, customised digital experience in their
vehicle,” according to the lead developer for the digital driving
experience, Stephan Durach.
The different software platforms enable the infotainment system
to be individually configured. The expanded operating system can also
be used in different vehicle series. Customers benefit from tailored,
individual and expanded digital features and options.
As in the
past, the expanded BMW Operating System 8 will continue to be updated
"over the air" at regular intervals with the BMW Remote
Software Upgrade.
