Completely agree, especially on the second paragraph - just like how 'smart' TVs ship a long-lasting high quality panel with an obsolete/user-hostile operating system.
On the first paragraph, I thought I'd read this battle is mostly lost already, not with respect to Android, but car software in general is far more intertwined and less robust than you'd think prudent.
- hobofan 7y ago> just like how 'smart' TVs ship a long-lasting high quality panel with an obsolete/user-hostile operating system Who cares? Just ignore the "smart" part, don't give it any Internet access and handle the smart part yourself via so HDMI dongle like a Chromecast.

- ytwySXpMbS 7y agoIt can be quite hard to ignore the smart part. For example, my TV can't even display the input selection menu properly. It moves about as it tries to load an ad, then can't.
- Spare_account 7y agoWhich TV? It has adverts in the system menus? Also, how did you block it from displaying them? Is it completely offline or maybe you're using a pihole?
- mongol 7y agoDid you block it from loading ads?
- TN1ck 7y agoJust because you mentioned smart TVs - I had the same opinion, but was then blown away by my new LG OLED TV. It's so freaking fast with Netflix / Prime / YouTube and the UX is really well made (others are probably similar by now). For now I'm really happy with it and I can't see how the software will detoriate the TV so much in the future, that it I will hate the smart stuff.
- MegaButts 7y agoI adore my LG OLED TV. I cannot recommend them enough.
