I think they are afraid that Google's software will become an industry standard and that they will be left out. They are in the position where they need to make a bet and that bet will determine how the next decade of business will look like for them.
- miohtama 4y agoIf the best product wins then Google’s is likely to become industry standard. Android Auto is not panacea, but no European or Asian company has shown any talent to build high quality software in scale. Only US/Silicon Valley companies can do this. And this is not just about cars - it’s also the same for mobile phones, etc.

- MrBuddyCasino 4y agoCalling Spotify high-quality software is daring.

- miohtama 4y agoI worked with Symbian and it’s now dead. It lost the mobile OS race for a reason.
