Answer 1

The automotive feature is added from the canary version. Try 3.5 or later versions, this is a snippet from 4.0 version

Premier

I have studio 4.0 but not seeing this option. Could you show your update sites screen? – Warmonger

Are you saying that even in AS 4+ you still need to be using the Canary version? – Bookbinder

@Fracdroid, user2199860, I moved to another project, so due to space constraints, I uninstalled studio from my PC but my understanding is that we need to select the canary channel to receive updates wrt automotive which can be selected under the System Settings -> Updates (Automatically check updates for Canary Channel) – Premier

eventually i found it on the Tiramisu (v33). so search for it in the various SDK versions that you have on SDK Manager. – Uranalysis

Answer 2

I had the same issue as I was on Stable Channel Updates. Tried @Kishore P suggestion and switched to Canary Channel, and there it was - Automotive Intel x86 Atom System Image.

Steps - Ctrl+Shift+A open the Find Action search box Search System Settings System Settings > Updates SDK Manager > SDK Platforms > Check Show Package Details box Now you can find Automotive Intel x86 Atom System Image under Android 9.0 (Pie) Go ahead and install.

Answer 3

Automative System Images are only available to download for Android Studio Previews. Once downloaded, you can use them in Android Studio Stable.

Solution:

• Download the Android Studio Preview if you don't already have it.
• Download the desired system image from SDK manager in AS Preview.
• Switch to the AS Stable to create your emulator with the system image you downloaded.
