I don’t really know much about cars but isn’t QNX already powering a lot of cars? I assume if Android’s powering anything, it’s just the entertainment system

The car’s CAN bus is always driven by a highly available real-time OS.
The car’s infotainment is often either in-house or Android-based.
Android (and to some extent Linux in general) is not suitable for hard real-time applications.
