From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does this mean android auto won’t be slow in the future?

If i understood the article correctly, real time means predicable and reliable, not necessarily fast. It's common in medical devices, avionics, etc. So this is going to benefit embedded devices the most.

If your speedometer/tachometer is a screen instead of dials, it's extremely likely it's running Linux, too

So still somewhat useful in the auto space

If it's more than a few years old, it's extremely unlikely it ever sees this kernel update.
