Imran,
Great question. I too would like to see more work done on Panda. Unfortunately many have said it is a "dead" board as far as new development. I purchased my board maybe a year (or more?) ago and I have yet to find any build functional enough to use.
I guess I find that kind of odd! Linaro certainly in the past has published many a build with working panda support. I've had 2 panda and 1 panda es board and they certainly were running Linaro releases over the years.
You might want to look into older releases on http://releases.linaro.org
Although I see youtube videos of people running android very smoothly with everything working, but they could be fake. Ubuntu 12.04-12.10 runs pretty good, but any update appears to break it. And I want android on there for a car based project.
At this point I, to me the board is trash :( I will likely be getting an Arndale or o-droid board for my car project.
I personally like the odroid boards, I've got an xu that I used to use quite a bit. No idea if they'd make a good starting point for a car project tho.
I do some light coding here and there, so I have much respect for these platform developers. Like I said something that works, and android 5 would be awesome.
Stay tuned ;-)
:)
