But hey... you're talking about the automotive industry here, remember? The same guys who control engines and entertainment systems with the same CPU, and who put android systems in new vehicles with no way to upgrade them for the life of the car.

Do you have an example of a car that shares engine control and infotainment processes with a single unit? All that I've seen have a dedicated ECU (and TCU if automatic). Infotainment systems have become more integrated with cars in areas such as HVAC and safety warning systems, but even the ones with on-board diagnostics are only able to do so by tapping into OBD-II diagnostics provided by the ECU.

Also, which manufacturer uses Android for in-car-entertainment? Hyundai and Kia are planning on implementing Android based ICE in upcoming models, but any current offereings are either done in-house or Microsoft (Ford Sync, Kia UVO).
