The customers don't want complex "informatics systems" in their car because: - they have to drive the car, most of the time they just want ome music - if they are a passenger, they can just use their phones - the automakers sell them at outrageous prices - many times the price of a smartphone for a device that has less functionality - the integration with other devices is difficult. The new Mazda6 has great Bluetooth integration with an iPad, but you don't get any of the features when connecting an Android phone. Also, why that title? My _current_ car isn't going open source. My future car, _maybe_ will have _some_ open source software. It will not "go open source", just "use a small part of open source software". Also, "going open source" doesn't mean that everybody will use the same software and hardware. We will have fragmentation, just like Android has right now. Sorry, you can't have application Y because your car is 2 years old. Buy a new one!
