The car of the future will use Linux

Linux car of the future

You will already know that Linux is practically everywhere, either on the servers of the websites you visit, on your mobile phone or even on your personal computer if you are like us. Thanks to the AGL (Automotive Grade Linux) company, we will also have Linux in our cars in the future, a much closer future than it seems.

This company is defined as a company that offers free-use solutions for all types of cars. Many brands are joining this revolution, including very famous brands such as Suzuki, Nissan, Toyota or Ford as the most important. It is expected that in the future the operating system of these vehicles will carry Linux.

What to have a car with own operating system It is nothing new, since companies have been making cars of these characteristics for two decades. However, these operating systems were systems with proprietary software, something that makes these systems a bit cumbersome.

What the AGL company is looking for is create a unified operating system for use in most vehicles. This operating system will be based on Linux and is designed to be able to use all kinds of applications and utilities in almost all vehicles, not having to depend on proprietary software.

This opens a whole range of possibilities for developers, which will be able to develop free-use applications that control various vehicle functions. In this way, we are not going to limit ourselves to the applications and functions that the factory car includes, but we will be able to expand the functionality of our car completely to our liking.

No doubt this it will be a real revolution in the motor world. Of course, for now we will have to wait a little longer to enjoy an operating system of these characteristics. For now we can access the AGL website where we will be given more information.
