Hutterer: Is Wayland ready yet?

IIRC Google has already said they are going to move to Wayland for all their products. It's just how long it's going to take at this point.

Maybe they're Tizen based but I thought one of the major IVI vendors has been shipping Wayland based media players for a while now.

I must say, I'm not impressed. Tizen? How many Tizen devices are out there, again? Practically none? Or is it literally none? Chrome OS used Freon, last I heard. If Google went to the trouble to do another display manager, as they did with SurfaceFlinger for Android, they are not about to switch to Wayland, any more than they are likely to switch to it for Android. As long as all this special purpose embedded stuff stays where it belongs, I'm fine with it. I'm quite happy to see developers play around wherever they like. But start talking about replacing our perfectly functional and performant desktops with it... and that's where I start to get "Pulseaudio" angry about needless, years-long setbacks in functionality, performance, and reliability. And face it, outside of desktops, It's really just Android (and *maybe* Chrome OS) that matter for Linux. Do you really think Tizen is going anywhere?

Note that most mobile Tizen devices one can buy use Xorg (mobile/smartwatch profile). Dunno about IVI, but despite my interest I never saw one of those in the wild.
