The Evolving Software Landscape in Automotive and How Open Source Can Foster Cont...
summary
Electrification commoditizes hardware so software becomes the buyer’s differentiator, and open-source stacks like AGL and AOSP plus middleware (OpenSSL/x509 auth, Bluetooth, h264 streaming, Vehicle Signal Spec) are the actual building blocks being reused. VNC’s RFB-based device‑connectivity tech appears in 30–35 million cars, enabling MirrorLink/SmartDeviceLink-style mirroring, in‑car web apps and digital keys. OTA updates and subscription delivery work in practice but cause pushback (BMW heated‑seat subscription), so OEMs must balance rapid updates with UX and security.
