  It’s not Linux, but there’s an open source project available where you can build your own engine ECU with an Arduino hackaday.io/project/4413-speeduino

    I get it, but I don’t feel comfortable putting my car in the hands of an Arduino.

    Nothing against the open source software at all. It’s the fact that the Arduino is a consumer experimentation board, not an automotive rated component. I’m concerned for the reliability of the Arduino under the operating conditions of an automobile.

    Usually aftermarket ECU means no longer road legal.

  Pretty much every car is running Linux at this point.

  That doesn’t mean it’s open and non shitty.

    Android Automotive, not to be confused with the entirely separate and unrelated Android Auto.

      Not entirely unrelated, Android Auto is basically a projection app for Android Automotive.

        Android auto is your phone projecting to your cars infotainment system. This can work independent of what the cars operating system is. Android automotive is Android “optimized” as an operating system for a cars infotainment system.

        Android auto runs on your phone. Android automotive runs in your car.

  I’d love to be able to swap the engine. Or better - build it myself 👀

    That's called a kit car.
