> Paraphrasing: "You can remote jailbreak Android - do we really want to trust every vehicle in the country to use it for their control systems?" FSB, GRU, Mossad, MI6, NSA, CIA, GCHQ, DGSE, CSIS, ASD, CSE, BND, NIS, PSIA, GCSB, ISI, RAW, MOIS, MSS, MIT, GIP, CISEN, NIA, RGB, and all other intelligence agencies in the world: "Yes, that is a splendid direction." On a serious note, with the automotive industry's historical track record with timely updating their car software and doing so for as long as a car is kept running (with the possible exception of Tesla), I'm not sure any OS will be sufficient. Without some legal definition of orphaned automotive software being something like X unfixed CERT vulnerabilities over Y years, and legally-mandated regulation that open sources the ability to load alternative software, that security drift will always be the Achilles heel of any gear that uses software, not just cars. This is one of the reasons I've become a lot more selective with hardware gear. Any gear that lets me use open source software immediately goes to the top of the evaluation list above closed source vendor software, because I've been stranded way too many times by hardware with closed source software the vendor abandons for a newer model.
