Sounds good in theory. But the switchover to electric is almost certainly going to have casualties. Not every company will survive, which means a lot of cars will have no support structure.

Maybe have car companies put the source code in escrow and have it released to public domain if the company goes belly up?

Having the software in my car maintained as OS isn't a great feeling. But it beats not having it maintained at all.
