From Hardware Puzzle to Software Lego: Paradigm Shift Behind Honda-Nissan Collaboration

Imagine if the world's computer operating systems were all fighting each other—Windows, macOS, and Linux incompatible with one another, with drivers needing separate development for every single PC. The entire IT industry's iteration speed would slow down by at least an order of magnitude. The auto industry is going through the same pain. Honda and Nissan's collaboration in vehicle software might look like two Japanese automakers huddling together to survive the EV transition, but it's actually a paradigm shift from "hardware puzzle" to "software Lego." This isn't just simple tech sharing; it's a reconstruction of the underlying logic of automotive Electronic/Electrical Architecture (EEA).
