+    passionate about breaking new ground, building vibrant, user-centric features,
+    and increasing the overall driver experience.

+    title="You are currently leading Porsche’s efforts around the Android open-source project. How would you explain your project to a five-year-old? What problem does your project solve for Porsche?">
+    Android is an operating system that is collectively maintained by a global
+    community of individuals and companies. What started a decade ago as a technical
+    foundation for nowadays around 70% of all smartphones, has quickly evolved to a
+    Swiss army knife that powers watches, televisions, and car infotainment systems.
+
+    Porsche is integrating Android Automotive OS (AAOS) with the help of our Tier 2
+    and Tier 1 suppliers into our future infotainment control units. By building upon a
+    well-proven and established open platform, we have significantly reduced the pain of
+    having to integrate proprietary solutions being sold as a black box to Porsche.
+    The freedom to analyze and modify the source code allows us to confirm issues and
+    request changes that meet our requirements at Porsche. It is also worth noting,
+    that the prospering ecosystem around the Android open-source project offers us the
+    ability to easily find new talents and seek help from a global community of
+    technology leaders.

+    title="By contributing to AOSP, you have made a big step ahead in our FOSS movement. What was your initial motivation to take this path? Can you tell us why you have chosen to collaborate with an open-source community?">
+    All officially approved Android products, e.g., our car infotainment system,
+    must adhere to the Android Compatibility Definition Document (CDD). To
+    automatically test devices for compliance, the community has developed a
+    Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) that executes various test cases directly on the
+    device. My team diligently works together with our suppliers to make sure that
+    all tests are completed successfully. During our joint work, we encountered
+    several unit tests that have failed due to a bug within the test itself. By
+    reporting the bugs directly to the community, not only do we benefit from future
+    fixes, but so do all our partners, such as Audi, whose Android team is currently
+    doing the same integration work. Breaking new ground, creating synergies between
+    teams, and fostering collaboration is right up my ally!

+    title="What did you learn along the way? What were the benefits of this strategy for you, your team and Porsche?">
+    As great as open-source projects are, there are unfortunately every now and then
+    features that do not work as expected, e.g., parts of the Android Compatibility
+    Test Suite. On the other hand, the four freedoms of FOSS allow us to act, change
+    the code and propose changes to the community.
+
+    Together with Legal and the Open Source Office, we have taken all necessary
+    steps that enable us to report the above-mentioned bugs to Google. All teams
+    involved were highly dedicated to supporting us and made it possible not only
+    for us to contribute to the Android project, but in the future all other teams
+    at Porsche who want to contribute to Google Open Source projects.
+
+    It is thrilling to see how a global community can use their collective
+    brainpower to continuously improve a product such as Android and I am happy that
+    we have joined this journey.

+    Only reporting bugs is not where we should stop at. Porsche has all means
+    regarding knowledge and capabilities to also propose changes to the Android
+    community. By moving towards a stronger focus on in-house development, we can
+    build the necessary skills to lead by example in this important project and
+    collaborate with technology leaders at eye level.
