It kind of annoys me when people say that expanded infotainment and self driving tech is an EV thing. It’s not.
LOTS of internal combustion cars are basically a rolling Android computer with OTA firmware updates. It’s been this way for quite a while now.
I’d rather have a real-time OS than android managing my car.
The car's CAN bus is always driven by a highly available real-time OS.
The car's infotainment is often Android-based.
Android (and to some extent Linux in general) is not suitable for hard real-time applications.
Exactly. The person I was replying to is overstating things, and giving too much credit to Android. Misrepresenting.
You don't know how computers work.
I don't really know much about cars but isn't QNX already powering a lot of cars? I assume if Android's powering anything, it's just the entertainment system
That was my point.
...I'm hoping you aren't being serious here.
