Toyota is embracing a wide open platform for its next generation of vehicles, giving itself even more options to keep drivers entertained and engaged as cars become more connected.

The automaker’s 2018 Camry will be the first car available in the U.S. market to include an Automotive Grade Linux (AGL)-based infotainment system. AGL, an open source platform based on the Linux OS, will be the backbone of Toyota’s own Entune 3.0 system.

AGL, which is supported by the Linux Foundation and boasts a membership roll of more than 100 of the biggest players in the auto and tech industries, aims to provide carmakers with a pliable base to develop new software for their connected cars and unify the various dashboard systems into one industry standard.

The open source platform means that even more apps and connected features could be available from developers who have access to its SDK, which could even bring Android Auto and Apple CarPlay directly into the Camry’s dash. The programs are available with AGL, but Toyota hasn’t clarified if they’ll be included in its App Suite Connect management system.

Toyota’s Camry gives the AGL platform a home in one of America’s best-selling cars, while the increased functionality of an open source platform will allow the automaker to speed up the release of the new infotainment features across its lineup. Keiji Yamamoto, Executive Vice President, Connected Company of Toyota Motor Corporation, praised AGL’s “flexibility,” in a release announcing the news.

Toyota’s AGL-enabled cars will help develop the system even further. According to the release, the automaker will continue to contribute code to the AGL platform as the 2018 Camrys with the new infotainment system hit the streets. Most upcoming vehicles from Toyota, including those from the luxe Lexus brand, will offer the new platform too by the end of the summer, strengthening the open source ecosystem within the North American market.

While AGL attempts to unify the connected car ecosystem through infotainment centers, other players are looking to take their own piece of the market, most notably Google. The search giant partnered with Audi and Volvo to introduce an Android-powered connected car system, which could offer developers an enticing platform for connected car development. The Android platform is projected to hit roads within the next two years.
