It can't possibly be true that the software of the Volt is 10 million lines. First, it's not a reasonable amount of code for the task at hand. 10 million lines

It can't possibly be true that the software of the Volt is 10 million lines.
First, it's not a reasonable amount of code for the task at hand. 10 million lines to monitor various sensors, and to control various systems? Really?
Second, it's not reasonable that any team could have produced that much code in this time. How long has the Volt been under production? A few years? You'd need a huge team to just crank out that amount of code in that time, and it would be of atrocious quality.
It's gotta be a journalistic exaggeration of some kind.
- sp332 16y ago(Lines of code / car) * number of cars = total lines of code Right? Right?
- ams6110 16y agowhat kind of code? Assembly? Could be 10mm lines.
- reitzensteinm 16y agoThey might be counting branches in source control as completely separate code bases. There could easily be 100k lines with 100 branches, for experimental changes, different cars, production freezes etc.
