Program Overview: What is Android Automotive OS (AAOS)?
Android Automotive OS (AAOS) is a 24-hour hands-on program for Android developers and infotainment engineers building in-vehicle software. Participants master AAOS architecture and the build environment, the Car API and vehicle signals, templated media and navigation apps, distraction-safe Car UI design, and system-app performance tuning. Every concept is practiced in guided labs on a realistic vehicle stack.
The program runs as instructor-led working sessions where each module pairs focused instruction with a guided lab. Learners set up the AAOS build environment, integrate vehicle signals through the Car API, build templated apps, and harden driver-distraction behavior under instructor coaching. Every lab closes with feedback and code review so teams internalize platform patterns rather than copy samples. The program culminates in a capstone where each team ships a complete AAOS infotainment app.
Teams often treat AAOS like ordinary Android, then stall on vehicle signals they cannot read and apps rejected by distraction limits. This program teaches the platform's way: the Car API for vehicle data, templates for compliant apps, and safe-distraction design from the start. Teams leave ready to ship what drivers use and pass automotive review.
They ship an infotainment app that talks to real vehicle signals and respects driver-distraction rules. That is a portfolio piece no tutorial project can match.
Across 24 hours and six modules, the program moves from AAOS architecture and the vehicle hardware abstraction layer through Car API programming, templated app development, car UI design and driver distraction guidelines, and system-level permissions, performance tuning, and debugging. The capstone has each team ship a complete AAOS infotainment app on a realistic vehicle scenario, with instructor review.

Teams that Benefit from this Android Automotive OS (AAOS) Group Training
This program is built for mobile, infotainment, and automotive systems teams shipping software for vehicle head units. Content adapts to each cohort's role and experience level, so every team practices the workflows it owns.
Ship car apps that behave like car apps.
Android developers learn the AAOS platform, Car API, and template model so their apps run correctly on vehicle head units.
Workflow friction
- Phone apps that misbehave in the car
- Template rejections from OEM hosts
- Signal handling bugs found too late
How the program helps

Bring up AAOS on your hardware.
Integration engineers learn builds, system apps, and performance budgets so AAOS lands cleanly on target head units.
Workflow friction
- Bring-up delays on new head units
- Boot and memory overruns
- Unsigned privileged components
How the program helps
- Reliable build and flash workflows
- Performance budgets met on hardware
- System apps signed and deployed
Practice use cases

- Performance budgeting
- System app deployment
Cohorts mix roles on purpose: shared labs let each function see how its work feeds the vehicle program.
Prerequisites: This program suits Android developers and infotainment engineers comfortable with Kotlin and Android app fundamentals. No prior AAOS experience is needed; familiarity with vehicle systems helps but is not required. Content adapts to each cohort's target head units, so teams practice on scenarios that match their work.
Developer to AAOS App Builder
Developers enter with Android fluency and leave owning production AAOS apps, with Car API depth and performance tuning marking the advanced bands.
One program that grows with automotive software careers, from AAOS basics to confident infotainment app ownership.

Develop AAOS Infotainment Apps Through Emulator Testing and Design Review
Edstellar helps Android teams connect automotive platform concepts with the design and behavior of infotainment applications. Participants work with vehicle signals, app templates, and in-car interfaces before profiling performance. A complete app scenario brings these skills together, with review of distraction-related design choices, permissions, and evidence from emulator testing.
- Step 01
Consult
We review Android and Kotlin experience to identify needs in AAOS setup, Car API signals, templated apps, in-car interface design, or head-unit performance.
- Step 02
Plan
We connect AAOS architecture and vehicle data with car-app templates, interface constraints, and system debugging before completing an infotainment application build.
- Step 03
Align
We align instruction with Android developers and infotainment engineers, using emulators and reference contexts while making vehicle-interface and system-permission boundaries explicit.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor media, navigation, and vehicle-signal scenarios to familiar head-unit profiles while preserving distraction considerations, theme constraints, and measurable performance budgets.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants consume simulated signals, test car-app templates, and profile slow flows, receiving feedback on interaction design, permissions, and the evidence behind performance changes.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the infotainment app for correct scenario behavior, considered in-car interactions, tested permission boundaries, and performance results supported by emulator evidence.
