  Mission critical? That thing in the console of most cars is already anything but mission critical. They want to replace the entertainment (including the navigation) software, nothing more. Android should be capable of doing that just fine and might bring some life into a rather dull field.. These systems have so many flaws and limitations that make them look like they're from the 90s (based on my experience with brand new Audi, BMW and VW [1] cars in the last 3-5 years). These systems easily set you back for more than 1000 EUR (usually far more) and are limited in terms of supported filesystems (like 2GB limits on SD cards), numbers of files or folders (truncating your playlist) and just .. so .. slow.. I'd love any 'mainstream' component that is integrated into the car, running on hardware that isn't far worse than my phone. 1: References: Had an A3 with ~every option~ as a company car in 2007, a VM Golf GTD with ~every option~ in 2010 and rented a lot of decently sized BMWs when travelling.
