Though it's slightly unsettling, you have to figure that with the millions of cars on the road, that code must be pretty solid considering that there aren't more car-software related incidents occurring.
Any idea what language they use in these vehicles?
- thematt 16y agoI do this type of software development for a living, and you're absolutely right -- it's rock solid. The embedded control units themselves are coded in a low-level C. The automotive manufacturers develop on top of that in more abstract engineering type languages. It's fun software to development, given all the hardware integrations involved. Way more interesting than writing line-of-business applications.
- ehsanul 16y agoWould you be willing to answer a few questions? I'm a recent mechanical engineering graduate (interest in dynamics/control systems) who likes programming. So I'm pretty interested in the type of work you're involved in and want to see if I can get into it somehow. Couldn't find an email in your profile, but mine's ehsanul@ehsanul.com, if you're open to discussion. Thanks!
