I agree. and car manufacturers should focus on making cars, that's a handful already. why not "outsource" the consoles to other more UX aware companies and just provide a universal connector.
Imagine being able to plug in your favorite tablet in your car where the console is, and your car app will just popup. It makes sense especially for entertainment since you already have your music, and movies and games (for the rear seats).
- kaftoy 12y agoCar makers do actually purchase (complete, in many cases) subsystems from suppliers. Features like dashboards, multimedia systems, LCD screens, the vehicle speed projection on screen, line hold, braking assistance, injection systems including the control unit and many others from 3rd party suppliers like Bosch, Continental, Delphi, Autoliv etc. Many patents behind innovations and inventions in modern cars are not held by automakers themselves, but by their suppliers (including software). Of course, automakers do have a SW department of their own and their involvement varies from project to project.
