    I’ll pass on having evil corps like Google put AI in my car.

    Comma.ai is open source and does exactly what you are describing as that “head unit”, not too mention is widely compatible with many car manufacturers.

      Couldn’t agree more, but I’m just highlighting it seems like a much more profitable and attainable commercial goal for them in the short term than trying to enter the vehicle manufacturing space as a competitor. The fact there’s an awesome open source project tackling this idea already (thanks for the link - I didn’t know this existed!) says it’s viable.

      They’ve already dipped their toes in with Car Play/Android Auto and have the relationships with third party vehicle manufacturers, so this seems like a logical next step. Perhaps that’s what they’re actually doing by shifting their car team to AI.
