The shared service contract protects platform reuse while separate variants protect current IVI integration.
Vehicle software needs one durable interface across domains, while the IVI group needs to preserve applications already moving through its pipeline.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My team has working screens today, and nobody can tell me what breaks after the contract changes.”
Mikel Esposito · IVI Integration Lead
Leads the OEM engineering group integrating Android Automotive OS applications with vehicle services for the next vehicle program.
What is at stake
Two OEM groups have passing virtual ECU runs that support incompatible service contracts. You must weigh platform reuse against the IVI integrations already moving through the customer pipeline.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- platform reuse vs IVI continuity
- architectural control vs supplier standardization
- virtual ECU evidence vs production commitment
- speed of approval vs confidence in adoption
Why Applied Intuition
Vehicle OS sits between AUTOSAR services and Android Automotive OS applications, so this interface choice determines whether OEM teams adopt one platform or maintain parallel paths.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
