The first browser on Android Automotive OS, Vivaldi, now arrives in the OpenR Link system of new Renault cars, like Megane E-Tech Electric and All-New Austral. The fully-featured browser offers a feel-at-home experience even behind the wheels. People can watch, shop, and browse all from the comfort of the driver’s seat without picking up a smartphone or tablet. To ensure the safety of the drivers and passengers, the browser can be used only when the car is parked.
Drivers will be able to install the browser from OpenR Link quickly, an infotainment system by Renault in their new Megane E-Tech Electric and All-New Austral, and future cars from the French manufacturer equipped with the OpenR Link system.
Steering new browsing experiences at work, at home, and in cars, Vivaldi’s first outing in the automotive world was in Polestar 2, launched in December 2021.
The future of browsing in cars is exciting. We are thrilled to bring Vivaldi in the new Renault Megane E-Tech Electric, the All-Austral and future vehicles with the OpenR Link system. This is a powerful example of how we want to give an intelligent browser to the automobility sector, providing the driver and passengers with a completely new in-car-connected browsing experience, said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO of Vivaldi.
Both Vivaldi and Renault share similar goals in creating breakthrough in-car experiences.
Renault has developed this partnership to enrich the experience onboard its new vehicles equipped with the OpenR Link system. Its new connected, intuitive, and fully customisable infotainment interface offers the best technology to provide accessible and user-friendly applications and services and an always up-to-date system. It also gives an unprecedented connected experience, similar to a smartphone or tablet. Thanks to voice recognition, it can be controlled with the fingers or with the voice.
Vivaldi’s unique visual appeal puts focus on ease of use and flexibility. It adapts to people’s needs. It offers powerful features, including a built-in ad blocker, tracking protection, a privacy-friendly translation tool, tabbed browsing, notes function, and encrypted sync functionality.
As Vivaldi keeps user privacy first, people can be assured that they can browse privately in Renault cars with the OpenR Link system with their data not being stored by the vehicle. When logged into a Vivaldi account, browsing data may be shared between other devices logged into the same account. This data is not shared even with Renault.
Many people work in their browsers all day long. Being on the road in Renault’s next-generation cars with OpenR Link will allow people to turn their vehicle into a command centre for work with Vivaldi’s extensive functionality. Plus, charging stops and waiting hours turn more productive and fun.
The Vivaldi browser app will be available in the Renault Megane E-Tech Electric and All-New Austral in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the UK. Renault drivers can install the browser via the MY Renault app.
Vivaldi for Android Automotive OS will receive regular updates alongside its other supported platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android).
