No one said the intern pushed out the code, did they? Maybe the senior person said: look for string literals, and make sure that all sentences end with a period, to then return later, review the work, push it out, to some cars, of which was never mentioned if they were of customers (probably not) or whether they were even real cars in your and my perception of a car. Maybe they have stripped down test models, or mockup hardware (where you can just manually simulate some inputs at will), we don't know. The idea to have new people push out code to the main development branch, short after their arrival, is a common practice for me, to give them early feeling of accomplishment, before the rather unavoidable overwhelming of new job--lot to learn. It needs to fit the culture, though, of course...
