Mahindra vehicles will soon get Android Auto

NEW DELHI: 
   Mahindra & Mahindra, India's top-selling utility vehicle maker, plans to offer Google's Android Auto technology in its vehicles, a top company executive has said in a statement.

The technology, which links smartphones and tablets with an in-vehicle infotainment system, will be available in Mahindra's sports utility vehicles XUV 500 and Scorpio as well as future platforms, said Pravin Shah, president and CEO, automotive unit.



Shah said it would be made available after "successful integration," without committing to a timeline.

Android Auto, an extension of Google's smartphone operating system, is expected to make driving safer and easier by allowing drivers to access applications like maps through voice command or by using controls on the steering wheel.



The company, part of the $17 billion Mahindra Group, also said it has become a member of the Open Automotive Alliance (OAA), a global group of automakers and technology companies working to bringing the Android platform to cars.


Automakers such as Ford Motor, Honda Motor, Renault and Volkswagen are part of the alliance which also includes Google, Delphi and LG among others.
