Wipro's Google Accreditation as a 3PL vendor – A Partnership for Excellence in AndroidTM In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) System certification for AAOS and Google applications & services. 

Introduction

In a world that demands highly personalized automotive experiences, the need for highly capable In-Vehicle-Infotainment (IVI) units, like those based on Android, are becoming increasingly prevalent. With the integration of Android Automotive OS (AAOS) and Google Built-in (application & services) into these units, obtaining certification from Google becomes a crucial step before these cars can proceed to production. Starting January 2025, all Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) will be required to obtain certification through a 3rd Party Certification Lab (3PL). Wipro, an accredited 3PL lab, stands at the forefront of this transition, offering a neutral, comprehensive certification service for OEMs globally. Beyond AAOS / Google Built-in certification, Wipro has been selected as a 3PL for AAP (Android Auto Projection) certification from April’2026.
