naively, yes.

Those developments are basically unrelated to ICE vs EV, at least from what I've seen. Car companies are working on that in ICE models too (and tried before they announced EVs). Car companies make EVs that don't have this kind of integration, and will continue to do so. Some probably have decided to align it and develop it in parallel for EV models only, or at least pretend to do so for marketing reasons, but it's not a fundamental property of either/or.

"Having" to do both now of course doesn't make life easier for car companies, many of them still struggle very much with this "software" thing, and it shows.
