Ironclad is a formally verified, hard real-time capable kernel for general-purpose and embedded uses, written in SPARK and Ada. It is comprised of 100% free software, free in the sense that it respects the user's freedom.

Some of the supported features are:

A familiar POSIX-compatible interface.

True simultaneous preemptive multitasking.

Advanced cryptography and a security-centered architecture.

Mandatory Access Control (MAC).

Highly configurable, hard real-time scheduling.

Support for several architectures and boards.

Because the "car software" that comes to people's mind is most likely to be the infotainment system, which generally sucks, while the hard/safety critical stuff is invisible to them (and admittedly done by 3rd parties like Bosch)
