Sure, but there is a prioritization system involved where the highest payer gets pushed first. So the AI may detemine you like X, but if the buyer only showing Y, you'll get to see ads for Y and no X.
It is different. Rules and laws are supposed to make sense, but the one with 10 mph is not. There are limita to 250 kph in Europe and I dont see car dealers going down. Also, for years there are emissions regulators that make life hard for auto makers, but they obey and still sell cars.
They are including Eth, not switching to it completely. They will keep the CAN buss there as long as it makes sense.
Instrument clusters with graphical display output do use the Eth more and more because the amount of data beats the capacity of a CAN bus by far, but devices without big data transfer needs will stay on CAN. For example, what need is ther for Eth for an electronic gear lever? Not much data being exchanged.
Not sure what you mean by "not bridged across them", but devices on different communication busses (CAN, Flexray, Ethernet...) do communicate with each other through these devices called "Gateways".
SecOC is based on symmetric key cryptography. If an ECU is replaced and has a new key, this key will have to be taught to all other ECU's in the vehicle communicating with it.
Yes they do. First, they normally buy complete electronics (functional devices with or without software), not just chips. Second, they do have strong contracts, spreading for 3, 4, 5+ years, specifying the volumes for each contracted year and also the piece price (among other details, of course).
I still feel more connected to the world when I tune into some FM station than when I am listening to some Spotify playlist. Same with TV: even if I watch movies or series on streaming services, I still watch the news almost every day at 7PM and, during the day I do switch in and out some national news TV network.
Both the TV and FM, even if flooded by ads, still make me feel connected to the world, while streaming services kind of put me in a bubble. Maybe it's worth also noting that in my country(EU member state) the ratio of ads to real program is limited and controlled by government. So stations cannot abuse it and take it to 50/50, the ads are limited to 20% duration (12 minutes every hour).
TV and FM ads are innocent children compared to the shameless promotions in youtube videos, for example, so I've learned to tolerate them, laugh at some of the worst ones, or just ignore/change station when I am not in the mood. TV is not dying in my house nor the radio in my car.
