Challenges developing an Android based system for 2-wheel vehicles

Developing an Android system for 2-wheel vehicles (such as motorbikes and scooters) presents unique challenges not typical for general Android apps. While Android Automotive OS (AAOS) attempts to bridge the gap between Android and vehicles, 2-wheel vehicles have needs that require going beyond what standard AAOS offers. This session will present a high level look at various requirements, aspects and challenges related to building an Android based ecosystem for 2-wheel vehicles, alongside some additional complications related to developing a portable software architecture that can target multiple vehicle configurations. Areas include: - Building a system with a unified user experience - Non-standard user inputs - Communication between the vehicle and the app - Power management - Legal requirements - Vehicle and rider safety - Development and debugging of non-typical hardware Whether you're a developer experienced in developing custom Android systems, someone who loves motorbikes or cars, or just someone looking to broaden their horizons, this talk will bring new insight into the world of 2-wheel software development.
