    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.

      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
