Android Automotive OS drives the future of in-vehicle infotainment — faster development, harmonized systems, and seamless digital experiences across models.

Android Automotive OS is redefining the vehicle and P3 is building it. From components to full-stack, we deliver AAOS across OEM programs with the depth no generalist can match.

P3 accompanies OEMs and Tier 1s from AAOS architecture to production, with hands-on engineering teams, proven delivery across 80+ vehicle models, and the rare combination of software depth and automotive domain expertise.

Why AAOS matters across industries.

64 %
Android-based systems already dominate global infotainment OS share — AAOS is the enterprise-grade layer driving OEM adoption.
80+
vehicle models delivered with AAOS components or full-stack implementations by P3 across multiple OEM programs.
2+
major OEMs trust P3 with end-to-end AAOS development across complete vehicle lineups.
2x
faster development cycles through reusable components, unified architecture, and Android ecosystem access.

What P3 delivers in AAOS.

P3 assesses feasibility, defines hardware strategy, evaluates hypervisor architectures and SoC partners — giving OEMs a production-ready AAOS concept before a single line is written.

100 %

Feasibility & gap assessment

We evaluate technical readiness, identify architecture gaps and define the path to a viable AAOS implementation.

GAS impact & cost analysis

Full assessment of Google Automotive Services licensing impact, cost drivers and integration complexity for your program.

Hardware & SoC partner selection

P3 evaluates and recommends hardware strategies and SoC partners for your platform and regional needs.

PoC & hypervisor architecture

We design and validate proof-of-concept setups including hypervisor and container-based architecture decisions.
P3 builds scaled agile delivery pipelines for AAOS. From continuous integration to OTA-managed feature releases across new car lines, keeping security patches current with Google cadence.

2x

Regular AAOS penetration testing to ensure platform integrity and 3P app security across the full stack.

What great AAOS delivery looks like.

Four outcomes P3 clients see when software-defined vehicles ship on time.

Faster to Production

P3 engineering teams integrate directly into your program, reducing onboarding overhead and accelerating delivery from concept to production-ready AAOS platform.

Proven at Scale

80+ vehicle models delivered. 2+ OEMs with full-lineup trust. P3 brings reference architecture and reusable components that eliminate trial-and-error from your program.

Full-Stack Ownership

From BSP to E2E testing, P3 covers the entire AAOS stack with no handoff gaps between vendors. One team that owns the outcome end to end.

OEM-Grade Quality

CTS/VTS/STS compliance, penetration testing and OTA validation included. P3 delivers software that meets OEM homologation standards, not just functional requirements.
