Nice in theory but almost impossible in practice, unless you start installing two copies of many things, one for safety-critical purposes and one for infotainment purposes.

I fail to see the problem. Ditch the bullshit or at least corral it into a corner where it can't fuck with anything vital to vehicle operation and safety. ABS systems (for example) worked swimmingly decades before the first net-connected infotainment system was theorized.

Tesla already does this. You can reboot the user screen while driving the car. Everything works but the only negative thing I've noticed is that you get no indication of turn signals working (they're flashing).

What's wrong with doing that?
