I'd be fine with a reinvention of the modular system with more digital I/O and connections to other features of the car. Let me buy something like a "Samsung Galaxy Drive" infotainment dash that embodies the "swooping dash" concept, or let me buy a pre-built shell that I can build out like a custom PC.

I can cram my car full of corporate apps, or I can run it on Linux. I would love to have the choice.

Any future self-driving capabilities need to be inside of their own dedicated system like an aircraft autopilot.
