PSA Group’s Vehicles To Use Built-In Android Infotainment Systems From 2023

The PSA Group has announced its future infotainment systems will be powered by Android.

In a statement, which was oddly posted on LinkedIn, PSA Group said that it will start to use Android-powered infotainment systems from 2023. Unfortunately, it has released very few other details.

“Groupe PSA continues its digital transformation and its collaboration with Google. Android Automotive OS will enable Groupe PSA to improve agility and efficiency while providing personalized interfaces to customers in the car,” PSA Group chief digital officer Christophe Rauturier said. “This new collaboration is an important step in the relationship between PSA and Google.”

Vehicles from the PSA Group will not be the first to use Android-powered infotainment systems. For example, the Volvo XC40 Recharge has an infotainment system running on Android, as does the Polestar 2.

In addition, General Motors has teamed up with Google to use Android in future infotainment systems to be used in Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, and GMC models starting in 2021. This new infotainment system will be Android-based and include Google Assistant built-in. This system will also work with compatible smart home devices including lights and garage door openers, while also offering access to the Google Play Store, allowing owners to download a wide array of apps and services.

At the start of this year, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles also unveiled its new Uconnect 5 infotainment system that is based on Android. It is said to be up to five times faster than its predecessor and will operate on a large 12.3-inch display.
