Ezikhathini eziningi esikhulume ngazo I-AGL (Izithuthi zeBanga le-Linux), iphrojekthi enabahlanganyeli abaningi ababalulekile abavela embonini ye-elekthronikhi neyezimoto yokutshala imali nokuthuthukisa kulesi siphakamiso somhlaba wonke sezimoto ezixhunyiwe zamanje nezesikhathi esizayo. Ubuchwepheshe bufuna ukuba khona kakhulu futhi ngaphakathi egumbini labagibeli bezimoto futhi nge-AGL banethuba elihle lokukhula.
Kepha… kuthiwani ngemoto yakho? Ingabe iyasebenza ngenxa ye-linux? Iqiniso ukuthi ayikho i-AGL kuphela yemoto. Ngokwesibonelo, Tesla Motors basebenzisa ukusatshalaliswa kweLinux abazithuthukisela izinhlobo zabo zemoto kagesi. Amanye amafemu nawo akhetha ukwenza into efanayo, ngokususelwa kuLinux bazenzela amaphrojekthi azimele nganoma yisiphi isizathu. Ngakho-ke, mhlawumbe noma ngabe imoto yakho ingasebenzisi i-AGL isebenzisa i-Linux kwezinye izinhlelo ezisebenzisayo.
Iningi labakhiqizi lithembele ku-AGL esikhundleni sokutshala imali ekwenzeni uhlelo lwabo lwamahhala olususelwa kunhlamvu. Njengamanje ipulatifomu inayo amalungu angaphezu kwekhulu lokhosebenzisana nale phrojekthi ngaphansi kweLinux Foundation. UDan Cauchy, isikhulu se-AGL, uthe "Ama-automaker ayaziguqula abe izinkampani zesoftware, futhi njengakwimboni yezobuchwepheshe, ayabona ukuthi umthombo ovulekile uyindlela okufanele ihambe ngayo.".
Yibaphi abakhiqizi abanikela kakhulu ku-AGL futhi obani abayisebenzisayo kumamodeli abo? Ngoba phakathi kwamalungu avelele embonini yezimoto kukhona i-Audi, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Mercedes, Hyundai, Subaru, Nissan, Suzuki kanye nenkampani yezimoto ngobukhulu emhlabeni: iToyota. Muva nje iVolkswagen nayo isijoyinile, ebivele ibamba iqhaza nge-Audi, okungeyeqembu, kepha manje yenza kanjalo ngqo ngaphansi kwalolu hlobo oluthile.
