So, I don't know if you've seen this, but right around the time you asked this question, Ars technica did a story on the emerging Open Sourced car market.

Guys, this could be a thing.

These various automotive open source advocates come at the topic from different backgrounds and with different approaches, but they can all recognize we’ve entered an era for open source cars that simply didn’t exist before. PTC's Hannen pointed to Google's new involvement in the car industry, as well as the rumors that abound about Apple's auto plans as prominent examples that wouldn’t have existed 10 or even five years ago.

"Traditional industry didn't see it as a valid option for developing a car at first,” Hannen said. “Now the idea has a lot more respect."
