P3 has developed a motorcycle demonstrator showcasing the full capabilities of SPARQ OS in action. This prototype integrates advanced infotainment features, seamless connectivity, all powered by Android Automotive OS.
See SPARQ OS in action on P3’s motorcycle demonstrator:
SPARQ OS is based on Android Automotive OS (AAOS), the world’s fastest growing in-vehicle infotainment operating system. P3 created SPARQ OS to enable vehicle manufacturers to differentiate by providing customers with advanced Android-powered services and superior user experiences (UX).
P3 announced the creation and deployment of the world’s first dedicated weather app for motorcycle infotainment systems in August 2023. The P3-engineered app provides granular environmental information with motorbike riders in mind. In addition to temperatures and precipitation status and predictions, the app indicates wind intensity. It provides the rider with an understanding of weather conditions that is continuous for the entire journey. This makes the app far more useful than conventional weather apps which only provide sequential snapshot data that is point to point, town to town.
P3’s unique SPARQ OS for motorcycles platform is a digital cockpit/HMI software platform based on the latest AAOS version. It includes SPARQ store, Navigation, Digital and Voice personal assistant, Charging, Media and entertainment, SUMS, and SIL in the cloud.
- Ergonomic control: Riders can manage infotainment functions via handlebar buttons, minimizing distractions and enhancing safety.
- Integrated display: Combines telemetry and navigation on a single screen, providing real-time access to critical information such as speed, engine status, and GPS directions without the need to switch between applications.
- Optimized interface: The Android Automotive OS-powered launcher is customized for motorcycle displays, featuring a navigation application tailored explicitly for motorcycles to simplify interactions during rides.
- Screen shape: SPARQ OS offers a layout optimized for various resolutions, suitable for a variety of display shapes.
P3 digital services will showcase SPARQ OS for motorcycles at multiple exhibitions throughout 2025. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience P3’s cutting-edge Android Automotive solution for two wheelers firsthand at key industry events.
