Might Android, booted by a faster boot loader, actually start up faster? It certainly needs that.

Cars are known to start up rather faster than your typical phone. I seem to recall a BMW running Wince. I wonder how they got that to start up quickly enough.

The non-essential cockpit controls (audio, bluetooth, etc) run WinCE and, yes, you do see a delay before they become available.

I don't think anyone is foolhardy to run the engine computer or essential systems on Windows!
