I am hopeful that since a car can cause damage, and loss of life it will put under a stricter code. So they do have to meet a higher bar of safety and standards that are just not required on a phone. Fragmentation is going to be more of the car manufacturer branding... the underlying core engine will likely be the same. I am curious if there ever will be a consumer grade Google Pixel Car. There is a risk it will compete with their partners, but it could have a niche if it is intentionally undersold (for example, one or two colors at most).
