Answer 1

usually devices like car screens, scan guns, small tablets you see in stores, etc. all operate on very small basic operating systems. much like windows or android or IOS these operating systems function to provide the processing for the screen touching or screen changes. the only issue is that these operating systems are not built well or by small independent companies without many resources. so they slap these crappy to begin with OS versions into the car because its cheap.

Source: i worked for a company that used Zebra brand warehouse scan guns that used Windows CE which is their mobile operating system that was filled with bugs and stopped being supported so we switched to android.
