Even though I agree with most of what you say, but who is Merkler?

OK, so the powertrain needs to have an realtime OS, there is no way around it. You need to measure lots of parameters like air mass stream, temperatures, exhaust oxygen, etc, in realtime, process the data and output to the gas pump, ignition system and such extremely time sensitive devices. And now have the infotainment system playing a movie in the rear seat, the other rear seat maybe plays a game and on the drivers seat you have navigation, OSD and display data. OK, now you have a little bit of lag in any of your infotainment system... gues what happens to the powertrain?? This is the same reason why you cant have a raspberry pi on RT Linux have run a 3D printer, many have tried and it just does not work properly... if even such a system cant be built, I wish VW good luck with the Car OS... even though I am german...

Good plan! I hope they to the same with other predators like possums and rats. Ive lived in NZ for some time and the local birds there are a) very unique and vulnerable and b) dying out faster than anyone thought.. so most of the current plans on breeding new kiwis and takahes, kakas, hihis, wekas and so on just delay the problem. Hopefully until a master plan is found . Did you know that almost all lizards are endangered too? But, I just had the idea of what happens and history repeats itself, this time with one of the male GE mice leaving NZ and travelling to continental asia or europe...
