Earlier this year, Toyota was reportedly mulling the idea of
crafting its own in-car OS, but now the firm -- along with nine other Japanese companies -- will be collaborating with the Economy, Trade, and Industry Ministry to develop "an operating system for automotive electronics." The initiative is supposedly in reaction to similar joint developments going on with a number of European car outfits, and will aim to "create a global standard in the field." Dubbed JasPar (Japan Automotive Software Platform Architecture), the venture will include big shots such as
Toyota,
Nissan, Honda, Denso, and
Toshiba, and you can look for a prototype version to reach completion in 2009.
