It got rejected by Nissan, not sure why...

Right, so maybe a moderated app market would be a good solution, with apps being placed in two categories, one category that works whether driving or parked, and the other would only work when the car is parked.

Haven't thought about safety to be honest. Reason being cars already come with proprietary operating systems in the center console, so this wouldn't be any different safety-wise.

Yeah I've seen one, pretty nifty (but messy with all the wiring). The idea would be that the manufacturers don't lock it down to allow outside developers to bring value to the platform and utilize additional APIs. I made a mockup of how it would look like: http://s13.postimage.org/8bt3a7kdj/Car_Droid.jpg

It would be built into the car, instead of the navigation/entertainment system and feed off the alternator, so no battery drain :)

Here is the idea, please vote if you like it: Most cars already have a big LCD in the center console for navigation or entertainment, but each manufacturer writes their own software for it. My idea is to have it run Android, which would allow anyone to make apps specifically for cars, entertainment or information-based, taking advantage of special API like vehicle speed, fuel, error codes, etc (from OBD2 or ECU). This would bring huge value for car manufacturers(offsetting the development cost) and customers would love the limitless customization possibilities.

Nonsense.. you call a simple loop with a couple conditions difficult?
