At first I thought this was a Tractor Cab in the sense of a Tractor Trailer and I got excited...
But, still similar enough. I run product for a Telematics Platform company that sells into the large enterprise fleets. Have spent a lot of time in cabs of trucks learning about what driver's need and trying to "feel the pains" of being a commercial driver. It's a rough and tough environment, though the new vehicles are pretty damn nice.
Building software systems for things that move and can't really afford any downtime is a great set of challenges that I never would have expected to enjoy. Much less trying to shift paradigms in a legacy-laden industry away from "boxes of software" to a true development platform.
- fit2rule 6y agoI've worked on software projects for safety environments - SIL-4 - as well as telematics, and I share your pain. But it's always amusing how far telematics folks will go to avoid certification for SIL-4. The whole telematics industry should just bite the bullet and catch up with, for example, the decades of experience the rail transportation guys have in making all those pieces fit.
