So tell me again how "cars are basically software at this point." Other than Tesla, I mean.
- joezydeco 11y agoHow many motors and actuators in one door of a Model S? The sunroof? The HVAC system? The driver's seat? The suspension? This "20 moving parts in a Tesla" meme seems like a really tilted interpretation of the actual numbers. A Tesla certainly has more than 20 moving parts, and an ICE engine certainly has less than 10,000.
- raverbashing 11y agoSeat adjustment alone has more than 20 moving parts easily Add to that Seatbelts, Climate control, door/window/lock mechanism, headlight adjustment, etc. Might not get to 10000, but it's certainly much more than 20.
- stonemetal 11y agoWhile I disagree with the cars are basically software at this point. bit I am pretty sure 9,000 of those 10,000 moving parts is controlled by software.
- lectrick 11y agoWISH I COULD EDIT: Yes, the "20 moving parts" seems like quite a bit of an underestimate, now. Would love to know the actual figure. It is certainly FAR less than a typical ICE vehicle, which is a welcome reduction in complexity.
