The work done on real-time Linux has benefitted the open-source OS for years, but it was only this week that Linus Torvalds admitted its last piece into the mainline kernel. Exactly what took so long?
If i understood the article correctly, real time means predicable and reliable, not necessarily fast. It’s common in medical devices, avionics, etc. So this is going to benefit embedded devices the most.
Does this mean android auto won’t be slow in the future?

If your speedometer/tachometer is a screen instead of dials, it’s extremely likely it’s running Linux, too
So still somewhat useful in the auto space
If it’s more than a few years old, it’s extremely unlikely it ever sees this kernel update.
