    "patent_abstract": "An in-vehicle operating system includes a hardware layer, a software layer, and an application layer. The hardware layer includes at least one controller, and each of the at least one controller includes a processor. The software layer includes a Be operating system (BEOS) and a BEOS driver, where the BEOS is configured to manage and control the in-vehicle operating system, and the BEOS driver is configured to transfer data between the hardware layer and the software layer. The application layer includes a plurality of applications, the applications are connected to the BEOS by an operating system interface, and each of the applications is configured to provide an in-vehicle application to the vehicle.",
