Shin said that unlike Android, Tizen system is created in such a way that the operating system is equally well suited for use in vehicles , televisions and portable devices. He noted that Samsung and Intel is already working on next tizen-projects in which the use of the OS and its applications focused on cars. However, Shin said that Samsung is realistic about the automotive industry, and expects the first cars with Tizen, at best, will be at the end of 2015.
