I think for extremely limited capability embedded devices it makes sense to have Linux kernel + Wayland - but anything modernly new Android will do fine. Honda uses it in their in-dash entertainment systems for example.


What do you gain with Android on a small device (that's not a computer screen like a head unit) though? You just add a significant maintenance burden because you need to tear out all the phone parts from the OS which make updating and patching it really hard.


In Sony's case aren't they talking about a device with screen though? The screenshots show a screen with launcher and app icons.
