Because of the handoff, it caused them to push reliability ratings way higher than needed, which added complexity and customization. Very interesting! also > it took Elon six weeks to go from "OK let's land on a boat" to actually having a boat. The software VP guy didn't think it 'was a 2014 problem...definitely 2015'...people who had been there longer knew Elon would be able to get a boat quick.
