For air navigation, there is the exception of Russia (and ex URSS countries) where metric system was the norm. Each time I have encountered meteorology software, they were using m.s-1. It was a big source of confusion.

I have worked for nuclear domain and for aeronautical domain. These are domains where safety critical software is understood. AFAIK, software is not understood in car industry. It looks like they compensate poor programming by more testing.

Yes. All the stories I ear about software developed by traditional car makers confirm your point. Traditional car makers produce very bad software and have very bad organisation for software development.

Cars was the manner to show your wealth, now it is the iphone 7. People use to be proud of their shinny car. Now, they compare cost of ownership. BTW, I am proud of my Leaf. Maybe EV will mark a renewal for this market.

IMHO, the sharp angles of the triangles are dangerous. But I love the idea of two identical parts that can join. Maybe a strong magnet could be used (to join the 2 parts and also to stick a part on a metallic peace of clothe).

For me, fewer lines means that it is easier to get a whole picture. More verbosity often induces splitting code in many methods. As always there is a balance, but I am more often annoyed by gratuitous verbosity than by cryptic constructions
