This is one area where I kinda hope open source doesn't have much success. OSS seems to struggle with UX and a poor UX in a car unit will get people killed. Simply put, this kind of system needs to function almost entirely without the driver looking at the screen. The demo in the video fails hard at this. Android Auto and CarPlay are only non-nightmarish because the primary control mechanism is voice and they're integrated with steering wheel controls. Even then, they're likely to be too distracting for drivers to avoid accidents. These kinds of systems need a lot of user testing with sophisticated eye tracking setups before we can feel comfortable letting the masses use them while driving. OSS developers just won't be able to afford that. Once cars are driving themselves, then I can see OSS entertainment units providing value. But as long as a human driver is responsible for not killing all the car's occupants and anyone who might come in (violent) contact with the outside of the car, there should be a high safety bar for these kinds systems and I'm not sure OSS will ever be able to clear that.
