I downvoted you because the complexity of the software and electronics in a modern electric car is much higher than an old ICE car. The source code is private, schematics are hard or impossible to get, and replacement chips can't be fabbed at home like metal engine parts.
- dreamcompiler 6y agoFair enough, but I was also assuming that integrated circuits wouldn't wear out from sitting in a cow pasture quite as fast as a steel engine block would. Software doesn't rust. Then again maybe I'm being naive. Lightning strikes happen, power supply glitches happen, and the lack of schematics and source code would indeed be a huge barrier to debugging. Unless somebody develops AI-enabled JTAG reverse-engineering systems in the future.
- Moru 6y agoSoftware does not rust but the board it sits on does. Not to mention we still haven't managed to create any longterm storage that does not loose data...
