When Google announced the Android Auto platform at this year's I/O Developers Conference, almost no one would be surprised, because as the most powerful competitor of Apple iOS, it is undoubtedly to be "enemy." Obviously, the mobile platform battle has extended from mobile phones and tablets to smart homes and in-vehicle solutions. So who will really bring a smarter car service experience to the car?
Similar form of operation
First of all, it is a little surprising, but not surprising, that Android Auto is a highly similar solution to iOS CarPlay. Just as the two systems borrowed from each other on the mobile phone side, their car platforms also adopted a design that does not rely on separate hardware. Instead, they rely on smartphones and design interfaces only in cars to reduce costs.
Android Auto interface
Whether it is Android Auto or CarPlay, you need to use a data cable to connect to the phone (may join the wireless connection in the future), map the phone system to the car touch screen, and achieve various functions. Of course, you don't necessarily need to replace a new car. Apple has announced that it will cooperate with Pioneer and other in-vehicle systems companies to launch CarPlay's in-vehicle modules. Google has also joined JVC and Pioneer to make it easier for users who are not willing to change cars. Use their in-vehicle systems at a lower cost.
CarPlay interface
In general, there is almost no difference between Android Auto and CarPlay in the connection form and interface operation.
Voice and search function
Both Android and iOS have powerful voice control features. Both Google Now and Siri have been around for a long time, but if you want to compete, it seems that Google is more dominant. On the one hand, Google Voice Search mainly promotes contextual association. Some intimate proactive services sometimes bring some small surprises. At the same time, Google Voice supports local analysis and processing, while Siri relies more on the network and the cloud. Sometimes it will inevitably be due to network conditions. There is a delay problem.
Android Auto voice operation interface
CarPlay voice operation interface
However, the voice operation interface and nature of the two are slightly different. CarPlay is like you are using the iPhone, providing a very simple and easy to understand form; Android Auto is like Google Now on Android phones, integrating various cards, and various buttons may make beginners feel at a loss. But in terms of performance and feature coverage, Android Auto is still slightly better.
Application advantage
The attitudes of third-party applications are also slightly different for the two companies. Apple clearly continues its rigorous personality. Although CarPlay supports third-party applications, it needs to face a strict authentication mechanism. The application first needs to be authenticated by iOS and then CarPlay certified to ensure good quality, but the disadvantage is undoubtedly the application. Program development and review are too slow.
On the Google side, a number of third-party applications, including well-known SpoTIfy, TuneIn, etc., and some lesser-known small-vendor products were announced. The Android Auto SDK is completely open, encourages software vendors to join, and the development environment is relatively free. It can discuss interface effects with car manufacturers, and Google will not intervene. Of course, whether the application quality and design language are unified may be a hidden danger.
Finally, the car manufacturer. At first, Apple has exclusive partners such as Audi, BMW, Volvo, but these companies will now adopt a "cross-platform" strategy, just like the game console field, while supporting Apple and Google's in-vehicle system. Of course, they each have some exclusive brands, Apple is Ferrari and Jaguar, Google has Honda and Maserati. However, since the in-vehicle hardware can be freely replaced, the difference in the model may not be the key to the success of the two in-vehicle systems, and ultimately in terms of system experience and application support.
Obviously, it is still too early to discuss Android Auto or CarPlay. But it is certain that Android and iOS have begun to penetrate into every corner of your life. The mobile platform war has entered a new stage, and the result of the final competition. It is all consumers benefit, which is the most anticipated part.
