The writing in-between the lines is that all car manufacturers want to run everything on a single-board computer. Perhaps the only exception is some things deemed mission critical such as the dashboard - issue being who defines what is mission critical - which will run on a separate "safer" SBC. This allows them to save quite a bit of money per a car, not just in SBCs but also potentially in wiring. Not sure it's a good thing but it is the direction things have already gone.
Cutting out other suppliers will be huge cost savings for Volkswagen if the plan works out too.
