Volvo should actually be contributing to a consortium of automotive computer developers that pool resources together to build shared software on cars. The ultimate outcome would be like an Android-like license that allows car manufacturers the freedom to build-on-top of a software stack that gets security updates.

Cars get tricky, though, because bugs can lead to loss of life.

I bet Android Auto devices get even less updates than most Android based phones and tablets.

Isn't Android Auto just proprietary audio/video/touch protocol over USB-C, with no actual Android bits on the car side?
