This is what the automotive magazine "Motor Trend" reported in the article. Google's "Android Auto", which seems to have been rejected by Porsche, grasps the state of the vehicle with the Android terminal on handTelematics systemIt is a system that integrates Android and a vehicle by connecting to. Using Android Auto, you can display navigation with Google map on the in-vehicle display, display helpful information, make voice calls, and play Google Play Music overseas.

Android Auto


Android Auto is a self-diagnostic function of vehicles installed in almost all vehiclesOBD 2"By connecting a device such as a car navigation system to the connector, it is a mechanism to grasp the state of the vehicle one by one. This information acquisition is supposed to have been agreed upon by the user with permission to accept when starting to use Android Auto.

This mechanism is also used by Apple's CarPlay, but apparently Porsche seems to be in the content of information that Google obtains. Although it seems that reason is not clarified, Android Auto acquires a lot of major data such as vehicle speed, accelerator opening degree, water temperature / oil temperature, engine speed, etc. through OBD 2 to manufacturers that adopt Android Auto It seems to have requested agree to do.

Since information acquired by one CarPlay is very limited information about "the vehicle is moving", in Porsche Google requests too much information and valuable data of the company's vehicle It is seen as disliking that it will be a cylinder run out.

Strangely, Google is pursuing the development of autonomous driving vehicles developed by our company at a rapid pace, and it is said that it is aiming for full-fledged public road debut in 2020. Only Google knows exactly how data acquired through Android Auto is used, but for automobile manufacturers with know-how of car making so far, they can acquire those valuable data exactly as desired It is easy to imagine that things are never comfortable. Especially for Porsche lineuping a famous car "911" with a history of more than 50 years, it may be that it was absolutely unbearable to surrender detailed data for whatever reason.

In response to a series of events, Google told The Verge, "Motor Trend's articles misunderstand important points," Google said, "The speed, accelerator opening, water temperature, etc. as written in the article We have not received data yet. "

Google declined to say what kind of data actually is acquired but did not do any data acquisition when there is no permission from the userOpt-inIt employs a method that emphasizes that data will not be acquired and sent without permission unless the setting such as turning on the switch is done autonomously. Also, we announced that the purpose of data acquisition is for safety reasons and for improvement of user experience.

The vehicle's running data is also a part where the features of each vehicle model appear, and there is a part that can be understood even by the judgment that Porsche is supposed to have dropped. On the other hand, it is also true that one of Google has a part that is understood as "the data is about to be used for some purpose" due to its powerful forces. The truth of the purpose aimed at data acquisition of Android Auto is not certain, but when we got a vehicle equipped with Android Auto for the moment, I confirmed only what kind of data acquisition items are in the state It looks good.
