Thats ALL cars, a modern 2009+ car has over 100 computers in it, a Prius has close to 200 and over 2 million lines of code. |
Is that a joke?
That's a lot of code. We are in a new era... |
sadly not a joke
It is why the NHTSA (the US Govt agency in charge of car safety) is being asked why they do not employ any electrical, computer, or software engineers

Actually, there is already 1 million lines of code approximately only for a modern multimedia navigation system, so that's not surprising...

Quoting both CpuShack and Mixeur,
ignorance is bliss sometimes, not only for blue/red pill...
1.000.000 lines is insane 
Ok, as long as it doens't lead to a cliff anymore, I'll keep using my navigator.

My current car (a good 20 year old B M W) has exactly two!
One main/engine controller and one for the ABS.
And I am happy with that, very reliable car and free of
software-bugs I think!
