The headline is a little misleading because the article explains it already is open source, which nobody knew until now:
> Tech journalist Josh Hendrickson revealed that the Car Thing runs on Linux and is actually open source. The device’s extremely weak specs make it impractical for running anything beyond its intended web-based media player.
- whycome 2y agoThe specs don't seem all that weak. It's all relative. It could be a cool web-connected media player with a bit more functionality. It's got enough horsepower to be better at voice commands than a phone and it all likely happens locally. I think a lot of the processing and playback happened on the phone anyway. So it can really just live out as an awesome remote control.
