Google will have sole control over the interfaces of Android Auto, Wear and TV

05 Jul 2014 • engadget.com

Google tells Ars Technica that it will maintain sole (official) control over the interface for all three new platforms, rather than give that power to manufacturers. While companies will be allowed branding and extra services, they won’t get to modify the core experience.

The shift in policy also lets Google manage the update process, which should be as “automatic and seamless” as the company’s Chrome browser.

Looks like Google is learning from their past mistakes.
