Personal opinion, not need. Don't know about others

"After all, as Jones said, 'When was the last time you bought a car based on its operating system?'"

Hopefully never.

QNX is already in plenty of cars.

Don't believe me, check this out. A lot of major car companies are going to be making cars with QNX integrated with all kinds of things like hands free menu navigation via voice recognition. This is pretty old news actually, and these aren't even all of the people working with QNX.

I love that technology has made the engineering of cars way way better over the years but I don't really want or need a PC built into the machine so I can see what is being said on twitter or Facebook in my car. I couldn't give a toss when I am driving.

I suppose to some people driving is a chore instead of a pleasure and want this sort of thing but I am a bit of a driving purist here and still appreciate the freedom of driving and the joys of controlling a couple tonnes of machine like an extension of myself.

It will always be fun to me without the interference of massive screens flashing up the latest trending hashtag. I often get into my car and drive to escape and think. Maybe it is because I am not compelled to drive for work and I can separate the two.

i totally agree withyou on that driving to me is a pleasure and i did use to drive a lot for work and i still enjoyed it. Computers have been in cars for ages and this may just be the car manufacturers wanting ro spend less on the associated costs. people expect things like satnav and traffic information when they drive and to bring it to the masses they need to reduce costs somewhere

Unless this is something that will diagnose problems or assist in making the car run more efficiently, I'm not interested in some gimmicky marketing crap. The more things you put into a car the more things you end up having to fix.

We have phones, tablets, laptops, how many more screens do we need in front of us?

Uh... we have Android cars already... so kinda here already... XD
