Vehicle manufacturers are not (edit: end-user/OS) software companies, it doesn't make sense (or for any company for which it's not the core business) to build their own OS. Yes OS builders control the OS by definition. What's next, car manufacturers producing music so they get control back on what drivers listen to?
- nfRfqX5n 3y agosure they are. there's a ton of software running in cars outside of the infotainment system
- tarsinge 3y agoI should have added the distinction: they are not end-user software companies, embedded is another world.
- rcxdude 3y agoThere's a lot of software, but their business is making and selling hardware. That almost always leads to the business viewing software as an afterthought and a cost center. Embedded is absolutely rife with this and the quality is often awful as a result (yes, even in safety critical applications)
- cultofmetatron 3y ago> their business is making and selling hardware. That almost always leads to the business viewing software as an afterthought apple is a hardware company and manages to buck this trend.
