    That would be awesome, but who’s going to push for it?

    It’s easy for the opponents to use safety as a case for why users shouldn’t have control of the software in their car.

    The manufacturers already want to get rid of ODB because they’d rather control that data themselves.

    At least android auto has been reverse engineered, and doesn’t currently require any sort of difficult-to-bypass hardware attestation.

        And if the EU forces it apple will find the shittiest way to “comply” just to be dicks. Then the fanboys will still defend them and buy their insanely overpriced bullshit.

      Yep , auto manufacturers needs incentive to develop a open protocol such as this. Its not a easy task as this would need to be complaint with many regulations and safety standards. I have some hope for the SDV (software defined vehicle) future like COVESA where the industry is moving towards an opensource architecture but for user softwares you’re right its totally with the manufacturer to allow such open api to users.
