P3 has been officially accredited by Google as a third-party laboratory (3PL) partner for the testing and certification of Android Auto in-vehicle Infotainment systems.
This partnership establishes a comprehensive framework for the certification of Google’s authorized original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners. P3 will conduct rigorous testing and certification to ensure that Android Automotive OS-based (AAOS) infotainment systems meet the highest standards of quality and dependability.
To release an in-vehicle infotainment system with Google apps and services in a vehicle, OEMs must meet compatibility and quality standards and acquire the necessary certifications from Google. It also requires OEMs to run comprehensive tests before an Android software build can be deployed. Collectively, this series of tests is referred to as xTS. These include tests for compatibility, vendor tests, build test suite, security test suite, etc.
P3 executes a wide range of xTS test cases, and the team focuses on automating test procedures to maximize efficiency, reduce manual effort and optimize costs. P3 Group performs continuous executions of xTS tests, analyzing the results and logging any test failures to maintain high standards of quality.
The 3PL vendor ecosystem for Android Automotive OS Compliance is designed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of AAOS solutions by connecting OEMs with top-tier providers of compliance assurance services.
P3 guarantees partners access to comprehensive test findings, which enables in-depth problem-solving and analysis. Certified specialists are deployed to support the OEM’s development teams to resolve xTS problems found in the source code, improving the overall caliber of the product.
P3 Group will deliver these services from multiple locations worldwide, including facilities in Stuttgart, Germany; Paris, France; Detroit, USA; Tokyo, Japan; and Seoul, Korea. The group’s extensive network of specialist automotive engineering expertise ensures that it can support OEM partners globally.
“We are excited to collaborate with Google and OEM partners to deliver cutting-edge infotainment solutions that enhance the driving experience for users worldwide. P3 has long supported numerous OEMs to successfully achieve their xTS certifications in different series vehicles” said Marius Mailat, CTO of P3.
