I think the main problem is that there is no competition since you are buying the car not for the software (at least most people don't).

Make car software an open marketplace, and you will see improvements in quality.

For infotainment inside the cockpit sure knock yourself out. But I absolutely do not want to be on the road or at crossing as a pedestrian with cars running modded ABS or ESP units.

Yes, I'm talking about infotainment software.

I don't think any car manufacturer combines the functionalities you mention in a single software system so it would be easy to separate them.
