      Yes, you want an OS in your car.

      The infotainment system is not the only computing system in your car.

        In a car with numerous driver aids, a 15 inch touchscreen, 40 cameras and a laser guided cruise missile, yes I agree, you want an OS.

        I personally want a car where the “smartest” aspect is the fuel delivery system. Power steering, brakes, etc can all be done mechanically. I’m not a fan of advanced assists as I’ve seen far, FAR too many people become reliant on them and turn into lazy, dangerous drivers. I strongly believe that all base models should still be sold with zero assists, mainly to encourage people to actually act like they’re licensed to operate a piece of heavy equipment in a public space.
