The car of the future will run on steam. This means it is a hardware and a software-platform where besides basic tasks like driving - everything can be bought by third party vendours, who pay a fee to the supplier of the software-platform. S/He whoever overcomes his embedded plattform - fire and forget idea of software in this area first, shall inherit it all. Let the challenge begin. PS: Seriously- take John Deere- they basically have people begging and hacking, to work for them for free- and decide - no we sell parts and packages.
