2024 Kia EV6, stock head unit.
I drive Arch, btw.
If cars infotainment was open source I would be so much more down. Obviously safety systems need to be more locked down so shitty people don’t disable them and resell the car, but infotainment? Hell yeah.
I just bought a 2024 ID.4. Once the warrenty is up, I’m hoping there will be more like this. It’s exciting.
But does it run Doom?
3rd or 4th pic confirms that it does!
I’m about to pay 20 dollars for 1 month of Claude, plug that shit into my BYD, and have it hack the shit out of it. I can’t code to save my own life, so I guess I’m tossing those 20 bucks over to Dario and see how my car battery melts in the middle of the night (on the cameras, I’ll either be sleeping or watching animé).
Don’t feel embarrassed about using AI to help you accomplish a real task.
I’m fascinated by all the humans dunking on the obvious LLM trollbot, over and over again, elsewhere in this post.
Congrats! Your changes will not be accepted, though: https://docs.nura.eco/policies-and-processes/development/ai-policy.html
Not that anyone there would buy or borrow a car to make sure the port isn’t a hoax. I know it’s just the head unit but I don’t know if Android will boot out of chassis (it’s usually picky like that) and you said you are kexec-ing.
I’m aware 🙂 I respect their stance, and love the Nura community, it just happens to be an easy base to build from. It’ll be something like AGL or AAOS that I’d actually use if it goes anywhere.
Upstreaming isn’t my end goal tho, we all know there’s enough LLM slop being submitted as is, I’m just here to have fun and try stuff.
Amazing 👏
I was looking atthe dash, excited to see my car! Is it a projection from a phone or flashed onto the head unit?
I’m daily driving Linux
You’re daily driving Linux
We’re not the sane
Is this a typo ooooor…?
It was a typo, but now I’m not so sure
One is litteraly daily driving linux (automobile)
Another has a daily driver with linux (a everyday computer)
Finally, the future of automotives we all actually want. This is AWESOME. :D
Linux is my daily driver guy
“You wouldn’t download a car!”
Yes I would.
Anyway, I’m glad to finally see something like this. Finally, the start of open source software in vehicles.
Open-source software has been used in cars for ages. Daniel Stenberg has been receiving emails from people complaining about their cars, because his address was listed in the licensing section of the infotainment system.
heeeell yeah
Oh man, is that the Gen5w head unit that’s also on the ioniq 5 and 6? Don’t put dangerous ideas in my head…
If yours Android based, maybe? I’m still learning about the broader ecosystem
Glorious Gnome as all things should be.
