At a high level that seems true for now, but the site does say this:
"Although initially focused on In-Vehicle-Infotainment (IVI), AGL is the only organization planning to address all software in the vehicle, including instrument cluster, heads up display, telematics, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving." [1]
That's getting pretty damn far into controlling the car.
If they add everything other than the last part I think its fine. I think something used for self driving should be on its own separate hardware unrelated to any other hardware used for any other purpose within a car in order to fully isolate itself at the hardware level so your infotaiment system doesnt crash the whole system rendering your car undrivable for a moment.
> Also, couldn't ADAS be an issue? Sending the driver lagged lane encroachment info, for example.
"Lagged by how much?" is the qualifier that determines if that is a problem. 100ms wouldn't be a problem, 200 could cause issues but likely wouldn't result in crashes.
Of those only ADAS and autonomous driving sound particularly worrisome to me. Sure, a frozen instrument cluster would be inconvenient, but I'm more worried about the microcontrollers that control my breaks.
