It's already been shown to them how cars can be completely taken over via the internet. I think the cellular vendor in that case turn on a firewall that disabled this - for now.
That has nothing to do with a standardized OS system to run vehicles.
I was mainly referencing Johnhooks comment about not trusting car companies that much.
I agree that this project can only be a good thing - hopefully more manufacturers will join and we will all have safer, more secure systems in our future cars.
But if too many join in, then we will have a single OS and a single point of attack for would be attackers.
Is that really a concern? While there are many versions of Linux, How many servers are running the most popular versus how many cars there?
Seems like it would be a concern of the utmost importance. Creating a single attack target that is primarily maintained by consumers is what caught Windows, right?
Sure, but cars today aren't maintained at all - by anyone.
Nor do most have a single, shared OS or exposed APIs.
I'll give you they don't have a single shared OS, though exposed (sure not over the internet) APIs, it seems there are more exposed that we realize, just most require local access or something like bluetooth.
