    on topic: i dislike a lot of things he does but I honestly don't see any other way to do this in the future besides this. The lives at stake in this area are much more important than the intellectual property for the differing car manufacturers; it's essential that bugs are squashed together, that we get as many good people looking at this as possible.

        I'm not sure what exactly he's thinking of open sourcing, but no, it sounds like it's outside of the whole linux thing, because i think that was mostly kernel related stuff, and this isn't, afaik.
