GM차에 구글 서비스 들어간다 (출처: 테크플러스, THE VERGE)

 

 

제너널모터스(GM) 자동차가 구글 서비스를 품는다.

 

 

구글 지도가 GM 차량에 통합될 예정이다

지디넷에 따르면, GM은 쉐보레, 뷰익, GMC, 캐딜락 신규 차량에 구글 어시스턴트와 구글 지도, 구글 플레이 스토어를 탑재할 것이라고 밝혔다. 시점은 2021년으로 예상된다.

운전자는 GM 자동차 안에서 구글 어시스턴트를 이용, 전화를 걸거나 팟캐스트 등을 들을 수 있다. 스마트폰에서 구글 어시스턴트를 활용하듯, 간단한 음성 명령으로 다양한 서비스를 이용할 수 있게 될 전망이다. 

 

 

구글 지도를 통해 쉽게 길을 찾도록 지원한다. 자동차 안에 내장된 구글 플레이 스토어에서는 자동차용으로 개발된 다양한 앱을 이용할 수 있게 된다.

GM은 차량 상태 점검과 차량 안에서의 온라인 쇼핑 등 인포테인먼트 서비스를 지속적으로 확대할 계획이라고 밝혔다.

앞서 이달 초 GM은 구글과 자동차 음성 인식 비서, 자동차 앱 생태계 조성을 위한 파트너십을 체결했다. GM 자동차에서 별도 인포테인먼트시스템 설치 없이 스마트폰과 연동해 다양한 서비스를 이용하는 것이 목표다.

 

산티아고 차모로 GM 글로벌 커넥티드 고객경험담당 부사장은 "고객은 모든 에코 시스템을 안전하고 유연하며, 차 내부에서 일체화하는 방식으로 구현하길 원한다"고 밝혔다. 패트릭 브래디 구글 엔지니어링 담당 부사장은 "(GM과 구글의 협력은)모든 소비자의 디지털 서비스를 자동차 내부에 가져다 놓는 것과 마찬가지"라고 강조했다.

GM과 구글의 협력 관계 속에서 어떤 재무적 조건이 오고 갔는지는 알려지지 않았다.

GM will use Google’s embedded Android Automotive OS in cars starting in 2021

 

General Motors will use Google’s new Android Automotive OS to power the infotainment systems in its cars starting in 2021, the two companies announced on Thursday. That means Google Assistant, Maps, and other automotive-approved Android apps will be available in GM’s cars via the Play Store without requiring the use of an Android smartphone.

All GM brands outside of China will offer a native automotive version of Android, with plans to build on Android 10, though it won’t come to all models right away. Cars outfitted with Android Automotive OS will still allow drivers or passengers to use Apple’s CarPlay as well as the smartphone-powered version of Android Auto, GM tells The Verge. GM will share the access to some anonymized data, according to CNBC, though Google won’t be able to see any information about the way someone drives or a vehicle’s maintenance needs, according to Reuters.

Coming to all GM brands outside of China

GM has been building its infotainment systems on Android since 2016 when it joined several other automakers that decided to leverage Google’s open-source operating system. But automakers had to do a lot more of the software work when integrating these older Android-powered infotainment setups, which were typically forked off of older versions of the operating system. That meant they couldn’t be easily be updated or offer the same kind of access to Android Auto-approved apps via the Play Store.

Google first started showing off a new embedded version of Android a few years ago, with Volvo as the first partner. After a series of refinements, the final version of Google’s embedded infotainment system is slated to roll out for the first time on the Polestar 2 (from Volvo sub-brand Polestar) later this year. Google also has a deal to bring its infotainment system to cars made by the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance.

The new embedded Android approach allows Google to do more of the heavy lifting on the software side, while leaving the automakers with the freedom to design the OS to match their tastes. (For instance, the embedded Android system on the Polestar 2 looks and feels a lot like Volvo’s Sensus infotainment system.)

Like many other automakers, GM is in the middle of a big push to modernize its offerings in an attempt to keep pace with changing consumer preferences. The company recently announced that most of its vehicles will have a new “digital nerve system” by 2023 that can allow for the same kinds of significant over-the-air updates that Tesla has popularized. GM has also named Cadillac as the brand that will lead the company’s push into electric vehicles.

When automakers raced to add bigger and more capable screens to their cars a few years ago, they were initially resistant to the idea of allowing big tech companies to have control of those screens as well as the data that was being generated by the infotainment systems powering them. So for a while, they mostly stuck to building their own systems on platforms like Linux, Android, or Blackberry QNX.

But developing good software takes a lot of time and money, and automakers never developed a good reputation when it came to developing their own infotainment systems. As a result, pretty much every major automaker eventually relented and allowed smartphone-based solutions like CarPlay and Android Auto.

Volvo’s Polestar 2 with Android Automotive is how all car software should be designed

The popularity of those options seems to have inspired automakers like GM to figure out what else people might want to do inside smarter cars. They’ve piloted in-car shopping efforts, food orders, and are already trying to monetize the user data being generated by more connected cars. Allowing companies like Google to build and maintain better software that car buyers won’t hate in five years is all a part of that evolving plan.

“We’re seeing your HVAC controls and your FM radio controls and everything is moving onto the screen with software,” Android Automotive head Patrick Brady told The Verge earlier this year. “What we’re really excited about with the embedded offering for Android in the car is now we can create a single blended system, where you have Spotify and you have your HVAC controls and you have the backup camera and you have Google Maps or Waze, and it’s all one system. It takes advantage of the entire digital surface in the car. And we think we’re going to be able to strike a great balance where it feels naturally integrated into the car.”

Update September 5th, 11:00 PM ET: This article previously said Google planned to build GM’s Android Automotive OS on Android P, which is what the company said it would use on the Polestar 2 earlier this year. Google reached out after publication to say the company plans to build GM’s Android Automotive OS on Android 10. The article has been updated to reflect this.

 

General Motors는 2021 년부터 자동차의 인포테인먼트 시스템에 전력을 공급하기 위해 Google의 새로운 Android Automotive OS를 사용할 것이라고 목요일 두 회사가 발표했다. 즉, Google 어시스턴트,지도 및 기타 자동차 승인 Android 앱은 Android 스마트 폰을 사용하지 않고도 Play 스토어를 통해 GM의 자동차에서 사용할 수 있습니다.

중국 이외의 모든 GM 브랜드는 기본 모델의 Android를 제공 할 예정이며, 모든 모델에 적용되지는 않지만 Android 10을 기반으로 구축 할 계획입니다. GM은``Android Automotive OS가 장착 된 자동차는 여전히 운전자 나 승객이 스마트 폰으로 구동되는 Android Auto 버전뿐만 아니라 Apple의 CarPlay를 사용할 수있게한다 ''고 말했다. CNBC에 따르면 GM은 익명의 일부 데이터에 대한 액세스를 공유하지만 로이터 통신에 따르면 구글은 누군가가 운전하는 방법이나 차량의 유지 보수 요구에 대한 정보를 볼 수는 없다고 밝혔다.

중국 이외의 모든 GM 브랜드에 출시

GM은 Google의 오픈 소스 운영 체제를 활용하기로 결정한 다른 여러 자동차 제조업체에 합류 한 2016 년부터 Android에서 인포테인먼트 시스템을 구축해 왔습니다. 그러나 자동차 제조업체는 이러한 구형 Android 기반 인포테인먼트 설정을 통합 할 때 더 많은 소프트웨어 작업을 수행해야했습니다. 이는 일반적으로 이전 버전의 운영 체제에서 분리 된 것입니다. 즉, Play 스토어를 통해 쉽게 업데이트하거나 Android 자동 승인 앱에 동일한 종류의 액세스를 제공 할 수 없었습니다.

구글은 몇 년 전 첫 번째 파트너 인 볼보와 함께 새로운 내장 안드로이드 버전을 선 보이기 시작했다. 일련의 개선 작업을 거친 후 올해 말 구글의 임베디드 인포테인먼트 시스템의 최종 버전이 폴 스타 2 (볼보 서브 브랜드 Polestar)에서 처음으로 출시 될 예정이다. 구글은 또한 인포테인먼트 시스템을 르노-닛산-미츠비시 얼라이언스가 만든 자동차에 도입하기로했다.

새로운 임베디드 Android 접근 방식을 통해 Google은 소프트웨어 측면에서 더 많은 노력을 기울일 수 있으며 자동차 제조업체는 취향에 맞게 OS를 자유롭게 디자인 할 수 있습니다. 예를 들어 Polestar 2의 내장 Android 시스템은 Volvo의 Sensus 인포테인먼트 시스템과 매우 흡사합니다.

다른 많은 자동차 제조업체와 마찬가지로 GM은 변화하는 소비자 선호도에 발 맞추기 위해 제품을 현대화하려는 큰 추진력을 받고 있습니다. 이 회사는 최근 테슬라가 대중화 한 것과 동일한 종류의 무선 업데이트를 허용 할 수있는 2023 년까지 대부분의 차량에 새로운 "디지털 신경 시스템"이 있다고 발표했다. GM은 또한 캐딜락을 회사의 전기 자동차로 이끌 수있는 브랜드로 지명했습니다.

몇 년 전에 자동차 제조업체가 자동차에 더 크고 더 성능이 뛰어난 스크린을 추가하기 위해 경쟁했을 때, 그들은 대기업이 인포테인먼트 시스템에 의해 생성 된 데이터뿐만 아니라 그 스크린을 제어 할 수 있다는 아이디어에 저항했습니다. 그들. 따라서 한동안 Linux, Android 또는 Blackberry QNX와 같은 플랫폼에서 자체 시스템을 구축하는 데 주력했습니다.

그러나 좋은 소프트웨어를 개발하는 데 많은 시간과 비용이 소요되며 자동차 제조업체는 자체 인포테인먼트 시스템을 개발할 때 좋은 평판을 얻지 못했습니다. 결과적으로 거의 모든 주요 자동차 제조업체가 결국 CarPlay 및 Android Auto와 같은 스마트 폰 기반 솔루션을 포기하고 허용했습니다.

이러한 옵션의 인기로 인해 GM과 같은 자동차 제조업체는 사람들이 더 똑똑한 자동차 안에서 무엇을하고 싶은지 알아낼 수있었습니다. 이들은 자동차 쇼핑, 음식 주문을 시범 운영했으며 이미 더 많은 커넥 티드 카에서 생성되는 사용자 데이터로 수익을 창출하려고합니다. 5 년 안에 자동차 구매자가 싫어하지 않는 더 나은 소프트웨어를 Google과 같은 회사에서 개발하고 유지할 수 있도록하는 것이 모두 진화하는 계획의 일부입니다.

안드로이드 자동차 책임자 인 패트릭 브래디 (Patrick Brady)는 올해 초“버지 (Verge)”에“HVAC 컨트롤과 FM 라디오 컨트롤을보고 있으며 모든 것이 소프트웨어를 통해 화면으로 옮겨지고있다”고 말했다. “자동차에 내장 된 Android 용 오퍼링에 대해 우리가 정말 기쁘게 생각하는 것은 이제 단일 혼합 시스템을 만들 수 있다는 것입니다. Spotify가 있고 HVAC 컨트롤이 있고 백업 카메라가 있고 Google지도 또는 Waze가 있습니다. 그리고 그것은 모두 하나의 시스템입니다. 자동차의 전체 디지털 표면을 활용합니다. 그리고 우리는 자연스럽게 자동차에 통합되어 있다고 느끼는 곳에서 큰 균형을 잡을 수있을 것이라고 생각합니다.”
