Common Car OS

It’s about time. Interesting, really, that this push hasn’t been initiated before now. I suppose some of it is based on the idea that you should leverage prior work on other OS’s, such as linux, windows, solaris, blah, blah, blah. Or for that matter, the German standard already used in parts of Europe. But then again, the Japanese have sometimes shown a real talent for simplification and miniaturization. Perhaps this is yet another time when their simple yet elegant views on engineering could work positively to create a superior standard?

 

Or more realistically, we’ll have a VHS/Betamax, MiniDisc/Compact Disc, or HD-DVD/Blu-Ray battle of rough equivalents marketing it out against each other…

Great. Can’t wait to just sit around until one side out-advertises the other and we can finally have some sort of common standard.
