Apple has one of, if not the, best OS kernel out there. People will disagree about this, but this is based on all of my using iPhone, macOS, tvOS and a similar amount of experience with Linux, and a bit of Windows.
I do believe the XNU kernel is extremely well built and solid. If Apple does this, they may need a different kernel for real time features, or they would make XNU a realtime kernel.
Anyway, my point here really is this. I trust the XNU kernel as one of the most stable best supported out there. And with possibly the exception of seL4, I'm not sure that there are others I would trust more.
I'll ask a question now, what other company providing a full OS stack do you trust more to deliver a stable and reliable kernel for a car, that has a better track record with power consumption, uptime, or memory utilization?
