Hello Josef,

I'm also interested in the definition of an in-vehicle API. Before defining the 
details of such an API, I'd be interested in discussing a more high-level 
classification. 

First, we should define who would be the API users? I believe the definition of 
the API will fall into multiple categories depending on who would use it. For 
example :
- car manufacturer & Tier-1 suppliers who would be able to access/write 
critical information (e.g. for diagnostic / information collection purposes),
- affiliated developers (e.g. the ones providing applications shipped with the 
head-unit, which would need raw information such as the ones for GPS dead 
reckoning),
- "any" developper (which may need already processed information).

Some of the API might not be available to all of the actors, or read/write 
access may be different for each of them. 

That being said, access control would be an important part of the system. I'm 
not sure yet how that could be achieved but it must be kept in mind when 
designing the overall architecture. 

Any comments?

Thank you,
