What do we know about the console interface?

Any chance it will be Google Android Auto? Any links to more information?

@Drew Barfield No details have been announced except that they're working on it. Many of us have requested that they include Android Auto and Apple Car Play. They've also said that there will be some sort of OTA data connection.

@Drew Barfield Today we learned that Aptera has no intention of including AA or ACP - they are focusing on just a "strong Bluetooth connection" for phone interaction. Can't say I'm happy with this decision as it means we won't have access to the apps we're used to using: I like the way AA reads incoming texts to me and allows me to dictate responses - my friends' Teslas can't do that...

I found these two links:

Automotive | Case Study | Aptera Motors Central Infotainment Display | Embedded GUI Design Tool | Crank Software

Aptera Motors are building the world’s most efficient electric vehicle. They needed to develop the embedded GUI for its infotainment display to a tight, 8-week schedule and chose Storyboard by Crank Software.

Open source? I could hack my car! Nice!

@Drew Barfield Only if you have the secret cryptographic keys, I expect. Open source only means you can use the software to make your own GUI for your own product for free.
