Cabin
The design platform for the automobile cabin
Material Design 3–class craft for Android Automotive OS — calm, legible, inevitable. Dual-stack UI with compliance as design material.
Why Cabin
Not Material with bigger buttons — an automotive-native system Android teams already understand.
Built for the road
Driving state, distraction limits, glance budgets, and day/night cabin light are first-class — not afterthoughts.
Compose and Views
Two skins, one language. Shared tokens and compliance so system UI and apps stay in parity.
OEM brand without forks
Remap semantic tokens and extension slots. Keep safety meaning intact when programs specialize.
Product pillars
Every surface must pass.
01
Glanceable
Readable in under a second — at speed, day or night.
02
Quiet
Fewer elements. Stronger hierarchy. Motion that earns trust.
03
Safe by default
Driving and UX restrictions shape the UI — not a bolt-on.
04
One language, two skins
Compose and Views share meaning; OEM brand sits on tokens.
05
Thin by design
Adopt one module without dragging the rest into the image.
