User Drivers! Real extensible Fused Location Provider! This is all the legacy of Project Ara. I really hope the Moto Z2 does all of this.

Mike Trieu Care to Explain?

[@MikeTrieu]

Project Ara introduced the concept of the Greybus, device classes, and user-mode drivers hosted by the individual module devices to the Android code base. The Moto Z currently uses this to initialize its own modules. As for Fused Location Provider, it has traditionally been locked to only use the built-in sensors while only allowing devices like external GPS to interface with Android via the Mock Location Provider. Now external sensors can finally be a first class citizen on the platform.

So many Indians here. #FELLPROUD

Arch Gloom yes we have. But do you guys have brains?

[@OrPhEeUs]

I swear this is so backwards. Why not use something like the IOIO-OTG www.sparkfun.com/products/13613. It can do everything AndroidThings can do and more, because it uses regular Android.

[@Anthrox]

my understanding Google is going to handle to OS level updates so you can focus on the app not patching security holes etc

[@OrPhEeUs]

They already do that with regular Android, and the developer still has to focus on the hardware plus the app.
