Abstract: A vehicle head unit comprising a memory configured to store an operating system, and one or more processors may be configured to perform various aspects of the techniques. The one or more processors may obtain an indication of one or more vehicle networks, and execute the operating system that presents a single application programming interface that provides function calls by which to configure the one or more vehicle networks within the operating system. The one or more processors may also configure, via the single application programming interface, one or more network interfaces for the one or more vehicle networks in the operating system by which one or more applications, executing in an application space presented by the operating system, interface with the one or more vehicle networks.
