Yah, but automakers are very cost-sensitive, and flash memory/NVM is one of the easiest places to penny-pinch. I get crap about 2kB payloads.
Car companies, both electric and non-electric, frequently advertise rated horsepower of their vehicles, even non-performance vehicles. In the US, horsepower is one of the key metrics for a vehicle overall.
As somebody currently working at an automaker on software systems, the amazing thing to me is that a mess up of this level doesn’t happen weekly. It’s rough out here.
Sure, but that’s a lot different from not being able to see them at all.
What?? Yes, there absolutely were people who were run out of town for being gay. There was indeed rampant homophobia. What world were you living in?
I work at Ford on vehicle access and security and I’m quite familiar with CAN security challenges and solutions. (Of course, I don’t speak for my employer here.) Without speaking specifically to Ford’s plans,…
They control the heat input, too. Software fixes: * limit max current (dumbest) * limit max current based on moving average of current over last N seconds * limit max current based on experimentally validated thermal…
Dude, your argument is “yeah, but what if the Aboriginal Australians actually deserved to be ground into dust”?? The hell?
He… doesn’t have the ability to control whether he stands silently behind other people while they work?
Sure, maybe there’s less need for charge balancing in a smartphone battery, but the rest of the constraints still apply - fast charging is hard!
Yes, it’s true that you can implement a pretty simple generic lithium-ion cell charging algorithm that will get the job done for most cells. But that’s not a “modern battery pack”. If you’re trying to eke hundreds or…
Hasn’t somebody who is born free and then later purchased and sold as a slave been kidnapped at some point, even if not by the person who is selling them at the international border? I’m not well versed in the history…
Agree with this broadly, but also CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) standards in the US mean that it likely was not possible for Ford to eliminate sedans before CUV fuel economy increased to a comparable point. (I…
Firstly, I think there’s a pretty clear difference between enslavement, which is a practice that intentionally deprives human beings of their rights, often violently and often en masse, and beef, coffee, and chocolate,…
Ford released the e-Transit before the Lightning! https://www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/e-transit/2022/
The automotive industry has standards that govern the systematic development of safety-critical systems (hardware and software). The most significant is probably ISO 26262, which defines an “Automotive Safety Integrity…
