- rightbyte 3y agoThe main cost is probably designing the hardware. Programming simple ECUs without bloat for a car is done quickly. Except the engine and ABS system. You got sensitive control loops in those. Those two systems is probably almost all programming work.
- iso8859-1 3y agoI had imagined that the main cost would be certification. But maybe if the hardware is similar enough to an already certified veteran car , you could piggyback off of that. OTOH I've heard can't even swap out the engine of an old car without it needing re-certification.
