    Im sorry, I still don’t know what you’re talking about. What about the internet runs on homebrew and how is it related to cars?

        Homebrew software is unofficial/non-commercial software for systems which were originally set up with proprietary software (like gaming console or in this case car OSs).

          That’s the definition for games consoles specifically, I know you pulled it from wiki :)

          Every computer that comes preinstalled with windows also falls under your definition though as does any Mac.

          Linux was also developed for or spurned by a system that was proprietary and only for educational purposes MINIX.
