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 wil…

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 acc…

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 emb…

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 …

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 fal…

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 rea…

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, the…

In fact, many Chinese sites use numbers instead. Easier to type, easier to memorize. https://mediaoptions.com/blog/understanding-numeric-domain-v...

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 …

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/ADA…

A statement like this needs a trustworthy reference.

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…

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 a…

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 ar…

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.

I will chip in here. I have had several lead roles as a freelancing consultant over the last few years. Product owner, software architect, software lead. I try to communicate a lot…

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 n…
