Even more, the Mazda's UI (like many other car infotainment stacks) is actually written in JavaScript. The infotainment boots into Opera browser and renders whole UI as a webapp.

Otherwise it's a rather nicely designed system - using dbus for communication without too much of a wierd hacks.

A lot of the other stacks are using Qt Quick / QML.

In a past life I built some of these displays with C++/Qt. At the time, QML was still in alpha.

You should take a look at QML. It's wonderful.

I should take another look at it. Thanks for the reminder.
