Pretty sure the cars run Linux.

Probably for the infotainment system but it would surprise me if they run Linux on the computers which do the auto-pilot, safety features and engine control. That was what I was aiming at (to be clear).

Auto Pilot is a really good question, would love to read more about that specifically.

Yeah. But the OS question started with the question: "Anybody know what OS is running on the Dragon touchscreens?", so it was sort of obvious subsequent replies were dealing with that: the OS used for all the UI systems.

As for all the other subsystems, probably hundreds of them, sure most of them are unlikely to run on Linux. And I also doubt they all run on the same OS. There are probably baremetal subsystems, others on RTOSs, etc.
Shock:
For those who missed the docking rewind this stream.

IDEngineer:
Found today that SpaceX writes their code in C++, their screens in JavaScript, the OS is Linux, and the platform is PowerPC. They do not use rad-hard components but instead shield at the modular level.
