I am trying to read information from an AVD running Android Automotive OS 13. I am using AndroidX and attempting to access the vehicle's speed. A minimal example that does not work:
AutomotiveCarHardwareManager(context).carInfo.addSpeedListener(Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor()) {}
It requires a permission to work:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.SecurityException: Missed permission: android.car.permission.CAR_SPEED
When I add this permission to AndroidManifest.xml it does not change anything (same error output with/without). Note: The manifest is 'set up' correctly and does work with other general permissions.
<uses-permission android:name="android.car.permission.CAR_INFO"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.car.permission.CAR_SPEED"/>
I am not able to import android.car.permission.CAR_SPEED in my main code and following the sources in the error, those files appear to have many import errors too.
Is there a possibility that I need a custom build or something like that in order to access privileged information such as vehicle speed?
Thank you!

android.car.permission.CAR_SPEED is dangerous runtime permission. Did you request runtime permission properly?
android.car.permission.CAR_INFO is normal permission, so declare it's usage in manifest should be enough.
