Adding the ability to capture the screen and inject input events on the car’s HMI opens up a number of powerful use-cases. However, due to technical and security reasons it is not easy for an AGL application to make use of these features. In this presentation Agustin Almansi will describe how other operating systems have successfully opened up these capabilities, review the current options for achieving this on AGL along with their limitations, and finally discuss how this could be formally added to AGL by leveraging its security framework and Wayland.
