I can only imagine Mazda's stake in this is that the OSS project is doing something that Mazda would like to monetize. Otherwise why limit a project that's making people fell better about their car purchase?

The worst thing to happen to home automation was companies trying to lock customers into their ecosystem without greater interoperability.

I can't even use the android auto touchscreen in my miata because you can't make it disabled enough at speed so they just disabled the entire thing. Even the android auto dongles that hack that kind of thing I haven't had success with.

I would bet this is some overzealous safety executive somewhere.
