Incoming new message for you
summary
Carriad uses Android Automotive OS plus Harman’s app store to ship real car apps across VW Group brands; example: an Incoming Messenger app that consolidates about 12 messaging and mail sources, runs voice-first with ETA/location sharing and note-taking, and adds LLM summaries and suggested quick replies so drivers handle only high‑value messages. It runs on the Q6 / VW ID7 internals, follows driver‑distraction UI rules, and is live in dealer demos and the group app store.
