Could you build this?

No This is a Linux automotive infotainment stack with a Wayland compositor, which is systems-level work. Its value depends on automotive hardware integration, reliability, and safety validation that vibe coding cannot supply.

What it would actually take: Building a real version requires Qt 6/QML UI development, a Wayland compositor (wlroots or similar), hardware abstraction for vehicle buses such as CAN and for audio, GPU, and display drivers, and boot and update systems. It also needs access to real vehicle or reference hardware for testing, plus expertise in automotive software standards like ASPICE and functional safety.
