That is sort of orthogonal to what we are talking about. Cars are getting more digital based functionality - driver assist, entertainment, connection to third party services. They could be developed by some supplier, or the car manufacturer.
If they are based on open protocols, standards, provide API, is released as open source could happen in either of those two scenarios. I know manufacturers that use, promote and contribute to open source and standards. Do you think the big automotive suppliers are better or worse in this regard?
Also, choice here is kind of fuzzy. Choice in car brand and model? Choice in apps running in the enterrainment system? Choice in what SW is being executed by one or more of all the hundreds of CPUs, MCUs, GPUs, NPUs in the car?
- amelius 5y agoThere's nothing difficult about it. If Apple builds a car media/navigation system, I'm sure they can agree with car manufacturers about an interface. The problem is: manufacturers don't want this.
- JoachimS 5y agoFor entertainment, car services like they most certainly do. Look at what VCC, Polestar is doing with Apple in CarPlay and apps. They also provide APIs to allow third party value add services. It is a booming market.
