The big car companies are acting like a forty-year-old who had a year's piano lessons when they were a kid but suddenly decides they really want to become a concert pianist, now, and earn big bucks from that. They shouldn't even want in the business. The false lure of getting in on high-tech IP and abusive lock-in has 'em dazzled. Releasing superior open code puts far more air up the automotive companies' skirts than stating the obvious reason why the auto cos' private code can't beat his open code into the ground. The sooner they realize they're chasing a dream, the better for his bottom line. A little shock treatment is in order, I think.
