Toyota had more than 10,000 global variables.
Did you need 10000 reasons to never enter a Toyota again? No? Well, now you’ve got them, whether you wanted them or not.
I’d rather have that than a Tesla which could cause the entire car to not respond because of JavaScript.
That’s a little like saying that you’d rather be shot in the head than burned alive. Sure, I won’t argue against it, but I’ve got a better suggestion: How about neither?
Tesla is number 1 for deaths AND accidents. Toyota is not in the top 5 for either.
Sure, and how does that excuse Toyota’s sloppy coding practices? Look buddy, if you want to drive in one of their vehicles, I’m not going to stop you.
What vehicle do you drive?
I don’t.
Oh I see, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Got it.
Why not both?
The code may be crap, but there simply does not exist a car that can overpower its brakes. None.
How does one even get 10,000 global variables in a piece of code? Did they write it by beating their heads against the keyboard until it compiled or something?
There should be legislation to make it illegal for a car manufacturer to release software that has not had both its development process and the software itself independently audited with with an acceptable outcome.
Only $3mil for a death
I think I would prefer the floormat that got stuck under the pedals. At least then you could theoretically do something about it (even if practically you probably didn’t have time).
