Automotive ECUs solve the humidity problem by putting the boards in a pot of epoxy (talk about overkill!), and as for reliability, all my ancient computers still work just fine, the only things that ever die seems to be the capacitors or leaky CMOS batteries, i'd be happy to buy a car with an intel xeon (ECC PLEASE!) as the ECU.
- aledalgrande 6y agoSo what you're saying is that the die doesn't die? Sorry, bad pun, Monday night...
- tempestn 6y agoDesktop computers, or even servers, don't need to handle anything like the heat, cold, or vibration that cars are subjected to though.
- amluto 6y ago> intel xeon (ECC PLEASE!) as the ECU. LOL. Any code that relies on fast interrupts is a lost cause on x86. A 32 MHz ECU may dramatically faster at interrupts that a top of the line Xeon :) The power consumption of a pile of Xeons will add up fast, too.
- chubs 5y agoNo kidding! I was not aware :)
