LG Electronics announced a new in-vehicle software platform<\/a> built on Google’s Android Automotive OS, sending LG Electronics stock up as much as 23.95% in Seoul trading.<\/p>\n

Rather than dedicating separate hardware to each screen, the platform uses one system-on-chip to drive multiple in-car displays of different sizes \u2014 a departure from conventional multi-display architectures \u2014 and it operates on Qualcomm hardware. Deploying multi-display cabin setups becomes less expensive under this architecture, LG said.<\/p>\n

The platform supports individualized experiences for each passenger. A driver can use navigation on the main display while a front-seat passenger watches YouTube and rear passengers view other content. The system also supports individual user logins, personalized settings, content sharing, and parental controls, the company said.<\/p>\n

LG also updated its voice command interface, letting users adjust screen layouts, launch apps, control vehicle functions, and manage audio volume through spoken commands \u2014 a feature the company said improves safety by reducing reliance on touchscreens.<\/p>\n

Google’s Patrick Brady, vice president of Android Automotive at Google, publicly endorsed the system. “LG’s solution clearly demonstrated how AAOS can enable more flexible, intelligent and engaging in-vehicle experiences,” Brady said in a statement. “Its seamless multi-display integration, intuitive voice controls and stable performance powered by a single SoC stood out, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with LG to advance innovation for the SDV era.”<\/p>\n

Eun Seok-hyun, president of the LG Vehicle Solution Company, said in a statement that the company would continue working with Google and other global technology partners to deliver in-vehicle experiences.<\/p>\n

LG’s Vehicle Solution unit has been growing in importance to the company’s overall business. In the first quarter of 2026, the unit posted its highest-ever quarterly revenue and operating profit, with sales of 3.64 trillion won and operating profit of 212 billion won, according to Invezz<\/a>. The unit’s operating margin crossed 6% for the first time, Invezz reported.<\/p>\n

Future Market Insights puts the global Android Automotive OS market at $895.6 million for 2025, with growth projected to carry it to $2.14 billion by 2035, as cited by CNBC<\/a>. The technology is attractive partly because it lets passengers use apps on in-car screens without needing a phone connected, CNBC noted.<\/p>\n

In Seoul trading, LG Electronics shares closed the session at 279,500 won, a gain of 23.95%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LG Electronics announced a new in-vehicle software platform built on Google’s Android Automotive OS, sending LG Electronics stock…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37827,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[11779,2730,315,357,314,23217,21323],"class_list":["post-37826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-lg","tag-android-automotive-os","tag-google","tag-lg","tag-lg-electronics","tag-lg-group","tag-patrick-brady","tag-software-platform"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37826"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37826\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
