Android has captured ~80 percent market share in global smartphone shipments and demand for automotive device connectivity is on the rise. Until now, the fragmentation of Bluetooth software has resulted in poor audio performance and interoperability barriers across a range of devices.

Broadcom's Android Automotive Bluetooth software removes these barriers, delivering a significant improvement in audio quality for hands-free calling and streaming music. Integrated Bluetooth Smart Ready technology syncs easily with wearable devices to monitor driver health and biometric indicators such as driver fatigue and blood alcohol content.
