Thank you but this is only about software development tools.

Don't hold your breath. :) With the disclaimer that I don't and can't 
speak for my employer, the automotive industry takes safety very 
seriously and embraces standards and guidelines like ISO 26262, MISRA, 
AUTOSAR, etc. I think every manufacturer should scrutinize all hardware 
and software components including compilers and libraries that they use.

Coding guidelines like MISRA and AUTOSAR have been developed and matured 
for C++ for years. There is no equivalent for D for it to be even 
considered by the automotive industry.
