This seems to be in an exploratory phase with many questions still on how to implement. I do see this as positive in general that big car makers such as GM are recognizing the benefits and willing to partner with IBM on building open source solutions. I recently evaluated several cars for purchase and had real difficulty with all of them because of the mysterious proprietary operating systems that I know are collecting data and sending to somewhere. Cars have become Iphones on wheels which sounds great to some people, but not to me. I ultimately decided not to purchase a new car and stick with an older more analogue one until an open source modern car would be available. I might be waiting a while, but I don't think I am alone in this predicament.
