The OAA (Open Automotive Alliance) has a new partner today, as LG announced it would be joining Google, General Motors, Hyundai, Honda, NVIDIA and more in their efforts to bring “greater connectivity into cars through the innovative application of the Android platform.”

 

The company’s press release noted that LG was present at this year’s Google I/O conference, showcasing its new range of audio, visual and navigation (AVN) system solutions for connected cars. These “connected cars,” of course, refer to those that will be Android Auto-compatible.

 

 

LG joining the cooperative isn’t a surprise, but it is certainly excellent news. The more companies that sign on with Google, the better and more diverse the options for consumers will be.

 

Since LG is one of the few companies signed on that actually manufacture smartphones running Android, you can bet they’ll offer some nice Android Wear-specific add-ons in their upcoming flagships.
