Amazon Prime Video is coming to Volvo and Polestar cars - thanks to Android
was one of the first cars to use Google’s Android Human Machine Interface or HMI software – and now the search giant’s OS has been given a significant upgrade. Polestar has announced that Android’s Automotive OS can now run Amazon’s Prime Video. Yes, that means you’ll be able to watch Jack Reacher or Invincible in your sustainable EV – but presumably only when its stationary.
The addition of Prime Video follows YouTube in June of 2023, and both video streaming service join a growing roster of apps that include Waze and AccuWeather.
Polestar’s parents brand Volvo isn’t far behind: although not as integrated with Google, the Swedish firm’s cars are also going Prime Video via the Google Play Store, with YouTube following soon too. Likewise, it’ll be preinstalled in Polestar cars shipped from 18 September, with a gradual OTA rollout in markets after that.
and go it alone, many brands like Polestar and Volvo to an extent are preferring to partner up and leverage the expertise of existing tech giants. Which is best? We’ll find out over the next few years.
