Wind River , Intel’s embedded systems arm have been the topic of a few misty-eyed advances from car stereo makers Clarion . Ol’ Windy (as we’re seeking to get it called) would be providing a custom version of its Android implementation to power the forthcoming “Clarion Malaysia IVI” in-vehicle-info-tainment kit. The device could be powered by a Freescale i.MX processor (a heavy duty ARM implementation that could utilize multiple cores) and pack Clarion’s usual range of high-end multimedia, GPS and reversing camera functionality. We’re excited to peer this bad boy roll off the production line, but keep in mind that, as a minimum in Illinois, it’s illegal to benefit from the “tainment” part whilst driving .
