Announcing the Qt Automotive Suite

So I&#x27;m remaking a product and was approaching qt about the commercial version. The rep was very insistent that I can not develop an internal prototype using the open source license and then move to the commercial license. So that makes qt pretty unattractive to me since I have to pony up cash and hope it&#x27;s good.<p>What I would like is something like electron that can run on a frame buffer. What&#x27;s the current state of the art for a html5 based embedded interface?

As far as I know, almost all independent (meaning manufacturer proprietary, so disregarding Android Auto here) user-facing in-car systems are using either HTML5 or Qt. In that light it sounds like a smart move to make it even easier to pick their offering.

Interesting the focus on QML.<p>It feels like the Qt Company is pushing C++ down the stack, with QML getting the main focus as application development language.
