Software error

Parca vad deja glumele:
- S-a stricat masina!
- Cine te-a pus sa cumperi una cu platforma Open-Source ? Acum plateste pentru support.

Lasand gluma la o parte, este foarte enervant ca producatorii pastreaza cu strictete sistemele de operare de pe masini, tocmai pentru a isi pastra o cale lenta de evolutie.

Cum ar fi fost acum 3-4 ani cand functia mp3 era doar pe masinile premium, sa poti pune pe Skoda doar printr-un update software de 10 USD ?

Multe din optionalele mult prea scumpe de pe masini, ar putea fi cumparate mult mai ieftin si poate ar fi mai calitative, daca solutiile hardware s-ar impaca cu software-ul de pe masina.

Abia astept primii virusi speciali pentru anumite titpuri de masina! Va fi frumos, nu-i asa ?

DETROIT — BMW AG is developing an open-source platform for vehicle electronics. By taking the open-source approach, rather than using proprietary software, BMW aims to allow providers of infotainment services to develop plug-and-play applications.

BMW is asking other automakers to join in its effort.

But four other automakers that along with BMW took part in a panel discussion yesterday at Convergence 2008, a conference on automotive electronics, are not as far along in their consideration of an open-source platform.

Of the five panelists, only BMW’s said that his company would have an open-source platform in a vehicle of 200,000 or more units in the next five to seven years.

Electrical and electronics engineers from BMW, Chrysler LLC, Ford Motor Co., General Motors and Honda R&D Co. participated on the panel.

The open-source Linux system was created by BMW, Wind River Systems Inc. and Intel Corp. for the in-vehicle infotainment market.
