      I imagine it’s because it gives the car some OS-level privileges or something for better interoperability with the car OS (Android Automotive)

        Forgive my skepticism but what could they possibly want to do that requires elevated permissions? Android is already pretty good about things like that

    Colour me intrigued. I want more manufactures that go against the norm. If they put out a generic slab with normal specs at an expected price, I won’t be very interested, but if they do something cool I’m all for it

    Except I just noticed the part where it’s developed by Meizu so nevermind probably will be a generic Chinese phone

        Huh, didn’t realize Volvo was primarily owned by a Chinese company, you got me there lol, genuinely always thought they were standalone and therefore a Swedish company

          They are still a Swedish company, they are just owned by a Chinese company (Geely).

          Geely buys European car brands left and right. Somewhat recent examples are Lotus and Smart.
