Mercedes is in the same boat. They announced MBUX in 2018 claiming it will be the best thing replacing the very outdated COMAND system and now they're moving away from MBUX to MB.OS - using Android Automotive.
I believe Audi is also moving towards Android Automotive for their next-generation OS as well.

It’s not about the move to digitalization or Adroid Auto (what I think is a good move), but more about their execution.
To me it looks they don’t know what way they really want to go and switch from one thing to the other in such a short time, waisting time and development power & knowhow…instead of carefully planning their strategy and platform for their needs and then execute properly, how you normally do in the software industry.
And not end up with cars that are not even a year apart, but have 3 different OS, underlying technology and UIs…bad user experience, bad maintenance and tons of different hardware.
