- Grazester 6y agoSay what? You know only the infortainment system will be handled by Google Auto?
- rtkwe 6y agoThe only connection between the infotainment system and your brakes is over the CAN bus, nothing happening on the infotainment should affect braking.
- hootbootscoot 6y agoI'll take exception and note that many metrics are displayed on the infotainment system, to say nothing of GPS and phone calls. I know that laws are intended to mitigate this, but the basic issue is that Android has frustrating UI issues that will likely contribute to an unsafe motor vehicle environment. Distractions exist. Android nearly gets me killed on a daily basis as-is, without making my car into a glorified smart phone.
- hootbootscoot 6y agobut back to your original topic, I'm semi-familiar with the buggy world of automation drivers and the shady industry practices after a brief foray into home and industrial automation. I'm not referring to CAN drivers, particularly. Doubtless there are industry standards and compliance etc. You surely must recognize that having any connection whatsoever between an automotive control network and an onboard infotainment system represents a potential attack vector, right? There are countless low-hanging fruit already on the market as far as automotive hacks, and this simply will enrich that supply...
- rtkwe 6y agoIt's a controllable risk that can enable some useful things like getting meaningful error messages instead of a single check engine light.
- tomp 6y agoYeah I know, i was being 50% sarcastic. The other 50% is my incredulity that someone thought putting JVM in more real-world products is a good idea.
