Not buying it. The colossal attack surface of a giant monolithic kernel should not be controlling an automobile. No offense to Linux or anyone who works on it, it’s great, you just can’t rely on it with your life. It was never designed to be.
I come from a MCU background and feel the same way. Linux kernel is for consumer level stuff. For serious machinery, I choose a real-time OS like FreeaRTOS. Less code, and more low level code makes it easier to review, maintain, and have less chance to break.

You can compile a small custom kernel with just the needed drivers. Also an LTS kernel. This is likely exaggerated

There’s nothing to buy, Linux is already in ECUs on the road. Elektrobit is just developing yet another option.
