Well. I have worked quite a bit with Chinese businesses and let's just put like this: It does not matter much whatever license you think the SW or HW has. Whatever is available will be used and modified to the liking of the customer. I

Road approval looks very differently for mass-produced vehicles. It is not an easy thing to pass.

You might have a point there, but I struggle to find any completely hackable product that is also safety-critical. Some airplane, nuclear reactor or some train, perhaps?

I'm all for open access to the code for the sake of safety. On the other hand, I'm completely against hobbyists accidently bypassing a safety mechanism. Open access, but secure access to software download could make sense, at leas

Neither safety now environment is something you can easily wave at like that. Also, you're completely missing security concerns and legislative. I have worked in the automotive embedded software industry since 2009 and I have got caugh

This akin to parking anxiety, where you never know how long it will take to find a parking in the city. Still, we have cars in the city. I've had an ev for over five years now and I have so far waited on a charger once, for twenty minu

PS1 was a low volume car, almost concept level. The UX of PS2, a large volume car, is much better and generally very well received.

I must be doing something terribly wrong. I've had my bike for 7 years now, use it every second day, in all kinds of weather, and I lube it twice a year at best. It ought to be falling apart! What's your basis for your claim of su

Automotive embedded C developer here. Most of the code in this industry is implemented in a subset of ANSI C90. The reason is not header files, libraries or linker scripts. The reason is as the grandparent post points out: compiler availabi

Hah, I fought a battle for months at a Nordic automotive OEM, to try to stop them from overusing "fora", to no avail. They were so convinced that it was the proper word to use, they also used it in singularis, as in "We will

What you're asking for is a microkernel os, or at least a generic kernel shim to interface a user space driver. Example of microkernel: QNX. Example of userspace driver: fuse. I'm not familiar with the architecture of OpenBSD, doe

There are jobs if you know where to look. I regularly see ads searching for C++ developers. I'm in an automotive-heavy region in Northern Europe. C++ is widely used in HMIs, AD/ADAS, and general service development (diagnostic ser

Getting customers from abroad is tough in my experience as well. Have been doing contracting with a Swedish private limited company (AB) for soon ten years. Had many interviews for foreign companies, most within EU, but I have always fallen

You are right, the article mostly wrong in my eyes. The article might be referring to Germany's closure of several nuclear plants, which to some extent have been replaced by coal and gas (but perhaps more correctly: extended the life o

There are definitely examples of where CCS is commercially viable [1], but implementation is lagging, and the technology is very unlikely to scale to capture the amounts that we are releasing. It would generally make better sense to keep th

No. Although you could, it is not as efficient as using more tailored gates. Search for cmos stick diagrams to get a feel for the optimizations that are possible.

Other automotive OEMs are using it also for other use cases, such as compute nodes doing plenty of crunching mixed with real-time control.

No. 0.2% of today's co2 is reduced with this approach, given that _all_ obese lose 10kg each, according to the article. This simply won't happen, and if it would, it would have a neglible effect. Keep the carbon in the ground ins
