Very interesting point of view

You have to consider that in Automotive the power envelope while generally not so high as desktop is much higher than smartphone and tablets.
One of the things that immediately comes to my mind is the integration of compute oriented architecture of AMD's Radeon in Samsung's Exynos Auto.
The requirement for compute power in Automotive is growing exponentially due to ADAS and Autonomous vehicles running a wide variety of inferencing and DNN algorithms and NVIDIA is quite strong in this area with their Tegra SoCs.
And it would not make sense for Samsung to license it from the competitor NVIDIA who is making Tegra SoCs for the GPU.
Couple this to the fact that AMD has a strong open source drivers and a budding compute stack it could be something to watch out.
You can guess who is the only closed source GPU vendor. Intel has massive open source components and DNN/compute stack as well.
