> The core OS appears to be from GENIVI/COVESA (GitHub: GENIVI/COVESA). I'm not familiar with these systems at all. They have a fair bit of open-source stuff that will probably explore in the future.

In a prior role I got to engage on a number of GENIVI projects. GENIVI was/is a consortium of Auto makers and 1st-tier companies that determine standards for automotive IVI (In-Vehicle Infotainment). I got to work on some demonstration projects that were proof-of-concept for the standards. IIRC, we were implementing them on the Automotive-Grade Linux distribution. It was a really exciting time. I legitimately thought that there might be a future for a standard (or at least a couple of standard) infotainment systems.

Fun stuff. FWIW, I sort of thought of GENIVI as the European standards group, whereas AGL seemed largely funded and driven by the Asian Automakers. But that's my narrow viewpoint.

I found the Automotive Grade Linux booth at CES last month and indeed, they had a bunch of infotainment demos set up, along with at least four Raspberry Pis running demos or displays out in the open.

I also had a talk with a couple people at the booth, for example Igalia works upstream with Vulkan and Chromium a bunch. Would love to see more Linux on the dashboard in the future, some cars have pretty substantial chips powering their infotainment systems these days. Could be nice to add that as a node to a homelab Kubernetes cluster when it's parked idle in the garage :)
