For infotainment it could be doable if a new competitor wanted to appeal to the FOSS nerd community, a massive market that buys billions of cars every year. A car has a hundred other modules that have tiny af chips and Linux would be way too heavy for them.
Also now I’m imagining GPL infotainment. Make changes and you have to share the source with anyone who gets in your car and touches a screen lol
You know what’s really unrealistic in this late-stage capitalistic hellhole? An open-source, Linux-based modern car.

Why stop there? Linux-based, fully open source design for a space shuttle.
