In-car, smartphone infotainment systems are a pro for car shoppers, but not necessarily carmakers who'd rather keep your data all for themselves.

    I am always surprised I don’t hear more discussion about Automotive Grade Linux.

      Because it’s corporate controlled embedded Linux, you aren’t guaranteed any freedom or control. Hell you aren’t even guaranteed access to a debug menu. Technically a car manufacturer could make a open a free car running embedded Linux that does give you freedom but the chances are absurdly low.

      Gonna be honest. Its a multi thousand kilo death machine. I’m going to leave it to professionals to fuck with. I’m going to force as much of the liability on others as I can.
