Horizon: Accelerating AAOS Development with Google Cloud
🚗 Horizon is an open-source, cloud-native software factory developed by Google and Accenture to standardize platform development for Android Automotive OS (AAOS) and related embedded vehicle software. It promotes a virtual-first workflow using high-fidelity cloud devices, VHAL, virtio, and scalable Cuttlefish instances to enable elastic testing and rapid developer feedback. Innovations such as the Android Build File System (ABFS), containerized reproducible builds, and integrated code tooling have produced 10x–50x faster feedback in early deployments, reducing build times and supporting high-frequency, higher-quality releases.
