I wish DSRC had moved faster, but it seems 5G will beat the hype engine for wireless safety in cars, based largely on massive operator support.

If they can unbundle some of this work, the autonomous driving hype could push the scales to acceptance, but the total $98.1B may scare some lawmakers off.

If this can work in a car it would be a huge step forward in safety. If it works in phones it will reach mass adoption and be affordable.

Duh, try day 3, 4, 1000. Like iOS complexity (last update fixed 100 problems) car software demands frequent updates if high functionality is included.

This has led some to choose Linux as a viable development platform, on the perceived basis that its cost is less than commercial alternatives

I carefully read Chris’s paper and agree with nearly everything he says, except the idea that Linux is a “free puppy” unless he is referring to a Tibetan Mastiff (http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/world-expensive-dog-tibetan-mastiff-sells-2-million-article-1.1726647) in which case most would see the value. For automotive the issue is about sole sourcing I think, which QNX needs to address this whereas multiple automotive Linux suppliers already have. Looking forward to parts 2 and 3.
