I know this sounds ridiculous! But:
1) Larry and Sergey are super highly involved with Tesla.
2) Google is becoming involved with every aspect of life: self driving cars, search, wallet, maps, docs, apps, etc etc. With the future of cars laid down by Tesla, wouldn't Google want to be also the top operating system in cars with app-usable touch screens like Tesla?
3) Google has already created a special "night mode" version for the Google Maps in Model S.
4) Wouldn't it be cool if we could run Android apps by touching the Apps button in the Model S?
5) If not compatible, aren't there going to be third party app developers??
6) If so, couldn't an app developer create an "Android emulator"?
7) I'm reading Steve Jobs biography which mentions Microsoft vs. Apple. Open system vs Closed system. Which philosophy is superior? You will never find iOS in Model S. But you may find more things going Android-ish vs iOS-ish in the Model S.
I am a big-time Apple user. But maybe Bill Gates was right...maybe Open systems (Windows, Android) always take over and win b/c of their definition...they're Open (can be on any hardware like Windows). Eventually, the sheer volume of the Open systems surrounds and overpowers the closed systems. Although I think I'd prefer if iOS apps were in the Tesla - that just ain't gonna happen b/c of AAPL's philosophy.
Well anyway I know one thing I don't want in the Tesla. I don't think I'd want a Windows Electric Car 2013 XP Profesional Ultimate SP4 Upgrade running in my Tesla!
