Iteresting. On the user-facing side I hope the choice for Android will mean GPL compliance and a way to sideload apps. Can't wait for a LineageOS variant for cars.

My experience with user-facing Volkswagen software has been terrible so far, so I hope a new mandate might improve that area drastically.

As far as the underlying new operating system Volkswagen is developing for all their cars, seems like a smart move as long as the design by committee syndrome is somewhat curtailed.
