Wind River is joining Intel to develop an open source Linux platform to your car and shake up the auto industry by bringing greater innovation, efficiency and development speed to the emerging in-car infotainment market.
It's a radical effort to force automakers -- which tend to favor evolutionary, not revolutionary, R&
- to embrace open source as a way to speed up development. If Wind River and Intel pull it off, it would be a crucial step toward spurring innovation and cooperation in the growing but fractured in-car multimedia market. Sounds exciting, let's hope they pull it off for all of those who love Linux and we have some here.
