David, MeeGo had an automotive version from the very start. See for example https://meego.com/devices/in-vehicle The Moblin ancestor of MeeGo shipped in a few Chinese vehicles manufactured by Geely and Hawtai in China.

Android it’s great and still getting better (besides Google’s own apps) but still is a third platform missing out there and i believe the Jolla and Sailfish staff are doing the right job on the right software to make this platform fill that hole.

It potentially solves a problem for operators and manufacturers who are dissatisfied with the extent to which Android is controlled by Google – particularly the way in which it steers the user to Google services. For the user, well, it raises the possibility of greater choice, which is always a good thing in my book.

I don’t get why this will be successful. What problem is it trying to solve? Two years ago, I would have said it could become a ‘better Android’ because Android was in pretty rough shape, but that is no longer the case. Am I missing something?
