Pretty soon the German automakers will stop bragging that their cars have “23 computers”. They’re computers in the way arduinos are computers. Their cars have no capability of doing matrix math for any kind of real processing.

- mips_avatar 7y agoI really don’t know that much about Mercedes. I know more about BMW because they published some info about their autosar implementation. There’s a lot of technical debt, that I think most automakers need to pay back before they go fully autonomous. They can’t just do what they have always done and just add an Autonomy ECU, connectivity ECU, and a EV ECU. And even if they could, they realize they are going to give too much value to their suppliers if they did.
