I have installed Android Studio 3.5 from the stable channel. I am trying to build the Android Automotive Emulator but I am receiving the following error
no system images installed for this target
I have downloaded the following system image
Google APIs Intel x86 Atom_64 System Image
This image is shown when I try to make a phone/tablet emulator. I am using Mac Mojave. Do I need to install the Android 10 system image to solve this error?

You are not on the Canary channel for Android Studio, so you are not receiving updates for the Automotive Image. Your Android Studio version is only receiving updates for stable releases of Android. This can be fixed by switching over to the Canary channel in the Android Studio Preferences or downloading the Canary version.
Go to 'Android Studio >> Preferences >> Appearance & Behavior >> System Settings >> Updates'. From there you should a drop-down menu for "Automatically check updates for 'Stable Channel'". Go to the drop-down menu and switch over to 'Canary Channel'.
Another solution is to download the Canary version of Android Studio listed here: https://developer.android.com/studio/archive. Look for the releases that are labelled 'Canary'.
