Seems like a wrong move imo, they should just license android automotive for the short/medium term and focus on their strength - building cars.
Later on they can switch to their own OS if they want.
- baybal2 5y agoI have almost the same point. Being somebody like Toyota, they can not fear being captured by the upstream when they can rm -rf android at any time with an OTA. Toyota can be to Android Car what Samsung is to smartphone Android.
- newsclues 5y agoCounterpoint, given their position as a legacy car maker, they are positioned to transition to the next generation of software driven automobiles. They provide the integrated hardware and software that becomes a car. As more sensors are added and engines with the electric transition are even more digitally controlled than ICE, it makes sense to own the base hardware and software. This is their strength, building cars, which like it or not are just big robots running code, controlled by humans for now.
