An Automotive Operating System (OS) is a specialized software platform that runs in-vehicle electronic systems. Automotive operating systems help various transportation enterprises in integrating digital technologies like AI, AR and VR, with in-vehicle systems for enhancing driver safety and riding experience while providing improved connectivity.

Automotive OS typically includes a set of software components that provide functionality for managing hardware resources, communicating with sensors and actuators, handling input/output operations, and executing applications. It may also include support for various communication protocols, such as CAN (Controller Area Network), Ethernet, and Bluetooth.

Automotive OS is designed to be highly reliable, secure, and customizable, and it is typically developed using a combination of open-source and proprietary software. Major automotive manufacturers, such as Ford, General Motors, and Toyota, have developed their own automotive operating systems, while some companies have developed their own systems based on open-source platforms such as Linux and Android.
