The In-Car User Experience is the Next Competitive Battleground
summary
Claim: the in-car user experience becomes the next competitive battleground because it must be software-defined & updateable, not fixed hardware. Evidence: OpenCar shifts from HTML5 into Qt, automakers must adopt structured platforms and tooling, and vehicles already expose about 3,000 variables per car while a W3C starter set targets 240 standard variables. Market scale is large — €2 trillion industry and ~250 million connected vehicles by 2020 with >90% on 4G — and OTA updates plus compliance with ~600 pages of safety rules decide feasibility.
