Android Automotive UI-UX Masterclass

Design safe, elegant, and certifiable experiences for Android Automotive OS

What you’ll learn
Foundations of Automotive UX & AAOS
AAOS Design Principles & Patterns (templates, components)
Designing Core Apps (nav, media, climate, comms/notifications)
Advanced & Future (profiles, passengers, cluster/HUD, certification, V2X/AI)

Requirements
Basic UX foundations (hierarchy, typography, wireframing)

Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. Designing for the car is unlike designing for phones or desktops: attention is scarce, motion is constant, and safety is non-negotiable. Android Automotive UI/UX Fundamentals turns the full course outline into a practical, production-ready journey that teaches you how to craft calm, legible, and certifiable in-car experiences on Android Automotive OS (AAOS).You’ll start with Foundations (Module 1): the real differences between Android Auto, AAOS, and other IVI stacks; how the digital cockpit comes together across center stack, cluster, HUD, and passenger displays; and why safety—driver distraction limits, cognitive load, and “eyes on the road, hands on the wheel”—shapes every design decision.In Design Principles & Patterns (Module 2), you’ll go deep on AAOS guardrails: using CarHardwareManager to adapt UI to driving state (speed, gear, night mode); mastering car-ui-lib templates and core components (lists, maps, action strips, panes); and nailing interaction models across touch (≥60 px targets), voice (Assistant-first flows), and rotary (predictable focus). You’ll learn information hierarchy and glanceability that favor short tasks and fast comprehension.The UX Process for Automotive (Module 3) adapts research, IA, wireframing, and prototyping to the cockpit. Build driver/passenger personas, design a home and global navigation that prioritize what’s needed next, use AAOS UI kits to prototype flows like “navigate to a fuel station,” and run simulator-based usability testing with task success and glance-time metrics.In Designing Core Apps & Features (Module 4), you’ll translate patterns into production flows: media that respects audio focus and system media center rules; navigation with voice-led search, clear route options, and cluster/HUD turn-by-turn; climate that balances Auto with quick overrides; and communication/notifications that are voice-first and non-intrusive.Finally, Advanced Topics & The Future (Module 5) covers personalization & profiles (including digital keys), rich passenger experiences and multi-zone control, safety-critical cluster/HUD design, the business of automotive UX (OEM branding and AAOS certification), and what’s next—V2X, assisted driving handovers, and AI-powered assistants. By the end, you’ll have checklists, patterns, and test workflows to ship brand-true automotive experiences that drivers trust—and OEMs can certify.
