Japanese automakers collaborate on operating system - Engadget

This has got to be some of the most amazing and groundbreaking news I've seen in the autoindustry despite the arrival of alternative fuel vehicles. Not long ago I was piecing together all the components necesarry to build a full fledged windows operating system into my car for everything from entertainment (music/video) to surfing and GPS navigation. I would have eventually figured out how to build some of the cars vital functions into the system, if only to monitor them. There are still alot of questions around what this proposed OS will be but the concept is compelling at the very least!
