Auto pilot, adaptive cruise control, engine start stop controller, brakes, gas, etc, etc. Modern cars can’t drive without software. 100m+ lines of code in a car, 70-100 cpus according to this article: https://medium.com/next-level-german-engineering/porsche-future-of-code-526eb3de3bbe https://medium.com/next-level-german-engineering/porsche-fut...
- spockz 3y agoExactly! That is the software I want the car engineers to focus on. I do expect most have their firmware provided by Bosch/Siemens or whichever supplier. But Tesla shows how much improvement there is to gain when designing cars from the ground up instead of from parts lists of a vendor.
- rekoil 3y agoAt the same time the Polestar 2 is an example of a modern EV built using a legacy mindset, and it is great and spends way less time at the mechanic than my colleagues Model 3.
- ako 3y agoWhat do you mean with legacy mindset? The polestar 2 also contains many million lines of code, besides the software running carplay/android car.
