Andy Rubin is the Father of Android because he created the operating system that is now used by over 70% of global smart devices. After being embroiled in a scandal at Google, he left the company and founded Essential. The company went out of business two years ago before it had time to launch a second smartphone with a strange elongated design.
According to The Information report, Andy Rubin is now back with Simple Things, a company that produces home security equipment such as cameras, motion detection sensors, and various other hardware. The company now consists of several former Essential and OSOM employees.
Before Essential went out of business, they had time to show several prototypes of the internet of things system that did not have time to run. This may be the reason why Rubin is now switching to smart home systems which have less competition than smartphones now.
