CAN is great for real time control, and a huge number of embedded components support it. I don’t see it going away any time soon. That said, it does not have a lot of bandwidth. There will need to be something higher bandwidth to support modern info-tainment systems. A second, high-bandwidth network with less strict real-time requirements.

Why would you want to mix control and entertainment? I'd argue that you want control separated, for safety and security if no other reason. You don't want an app taking over your car.
what high bandwith requirements do exist for an infotainment system that you would want in a car?
Navigation and playing music? Both are done by other systems as CAN already.
Cars are getting more sensors (radar, video, lidar, ultrasonic) and increasingly fuse the information. I guess the future here is a hybrid though. "Big" data via Ethernet and status via CAN.

I mean, if you just cant stream video over CAN, but for infotainment MOST is fine. But you need something faster and better for your surround cameras (even if its just to stream to the driver for parking assistance)
