Now, though, Android Automotive is going mainstream, and we&#8217;re starting to see some of the biggest car manufacturers roll out Google&#8217;s operating system across entire lineups.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we&#8217;re looking at the 2022 GMC Yukon, but really, this is General Motors&#8217; Android Automotive system, and you&#8217;ll see it rolled out across most of GM&#8217;s lineup in the future.  The same basic setup powers the Hummer EV1, and with all of the parts-sharing that goes on at GM, expect to see this system pop up in Chevys, GMCs, Cadillacs, and Buicks.  With Ford and Honda jumping into the Android Automotive ecosystem in the near future, Google&#8217;s car OS will soon be everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get the usual disclaimer out of the way: This article is <em>note<\/em> about Android Auto, Google&#8217;s tethered phone app and competitor to Apple&#8217;s CarPlay.  Android <em>automotive<\/em>, fully spelled out (it&#8217;s sometimes branded as &#8220;Google Built-In&#8221;), means the car is one big Android device.  A computer runs the car&#8217;s infotainment system, and that computer runs Android.  Even if you have an iPhone in your pocket, that won&#8217;t change the OS your car runs (it does support CarPlay, though).  For most models, buying General Motors will mean buying an Android Car.  You&#8217;ll see an on-screen message pop up during setup saying, &#8220;By using this car, you agree to Google&#8217;s terms of service.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"gallery shortcode-gallery gallery-wide\">\n<ul>\n<li data-thumb=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/4-150x150.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/4.jpg\" data-responsive=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/4-980x753.jpg 1080, https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/4-1440x1106.jpg 2560\" data-sub-html=\"#caption-1856429\">\n<figure style=\"height:753px;\"><figcaption id=\"caption-1856429\">\n                <span class=\"icon caption-arrow icon-drop-indicator\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    This is one of the first screens the car shows from a fresh reset.

Consumers want their car infotainment system to look and work more like a smartphone does, so why not just load the vehicle with a smartphone OS?  Then you can get all the smooth-scrolling, touchscreen-based swipe navigation that people have come to expect from a modern computer.  Android Automotive is a Google-blessed OS, and like phone companies, manufacturers like Ford, GM, and Volvo sign deals with Google to license the OS and a slew of Google apps.  This car has onboard Google Maps, probably the biggest killer app in the automotive industry.  You also get Google Assistant voice commands and the Google Play Store for cars, allowing easy access to apps like Spotify and other media players.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad_wrapper\" aria-label=\"In Content advertisement\">\n    <span class=\"ad_notice\">Advertisement <\/span>    <\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<h2>The hardware: Four screens, three operating systems<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"image shortcode-img full-width\" style=\"width:980px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"The main infotainment screen.\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/1-1-980x738.jpg?resize=980%2C738&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"980\" height=\"738\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption\">\n<div class=\"caption-text\">enlarge <span class=\"sep\">\/<\/span> The main infotainment screen.<\/div>\n<p>Ron Amadeo<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Reviewing a car computer is a strange proposition because the hardware is always so old.  Car development takes around five years, and when the cars finally get to market, the computer hardware isn&#8217;t that exciting.  The hardware for our Android Car system\u2014which is internally called &#8220;General Motors Infotainment 3.7,&#8221; or &#8220;gminfo37&#8243;\u2014is a 5-year-old Intel Atom A3960 SoC with an Intel HD Graphics 500 GPU, 6GB of RAM, and 64GB of flash storage.<\/p>\n<p>This is not uniquely a GM problem, and the same CPU exists in the Polestar 2\u2014though that system has only 4GB of RAM\u2014so we&#8217;ll classify both cars as &#8220;first-generation Android Automotive hardware.&#8221;  The age of the hardware is notable, though.  Android Automotive doesn&#8217;t let you sideload apps into a production car, but look up Atom A3960 Geekbench scores, and you&#8217;ll see that the computer in this $78,000 vehicle is barely faster than a $35 Raspberry Pi 4. The GMC Yukon and Polestar 2 both feature one of the slowest CPUs you can buy today in any form factor.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure the Atom A3960 went through a lengthy certification process to ensure it can survive the heat and vibration of a tough car environment, but it&#8217;s disappointing to see GMC shipping what are basically budget PC parts from 2016. Even if the five-year hardware delay is unavoidable, the company could have started with mid-range or high-end 2016 Intel hardware rather than cheap Atom parts.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GMC Android Automotive, Google&#8217;s operating system for cars, has historically been pretty niche, and only a handful of high-profile cars like the Polestar 2 have used it.
