It would be nice to hear more details because there's some discussion around how to replace this technology. An alternative perspective is to ask how much longer will this technology need to run? At what point will the equipment used to balance the drive shafts no longer be necessary because the older vehicles are no longer road worthy? Sure, I'm assuming this setup is for older vehicles, and that's why I'd like to hear more info, but the point is to not simply think about replacing an existing technology when it's better to let it run it's course.
- striking 10y agoBalancing driveshafts is a very current procedure. The vast majority of cars still use driveshafts today. And it's difficult not to use a computer to balance them. In this case, they just use a C64. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? When it does eventually stop working (give it another decade or so), they can probably just buy another C64. And then after that one dies, probably, cars will no longer require driveshafts. But who's to say; the prevalence of oil has survived much longer than many expected.
