    ICE cars are full of software as well. One major problem is many managers think writing solid working software is easy. It is not. Quite the opposite. Managers also think writing software is cheap. It is not. Outsourcing can get you software faster but it will probably not work properly or be outright dangerous. The solution is to write software in house and spend the money necessary without rushing.

    We created this problem back in the 80s when we all decided to move manufacturing offshore to cheap manufacturing markets. It would take 40 years and major price increases to dig the Chinese out of the manufacturing market now.
    Polestar is Chinese (as is its parent Volvo) both of which are owned by Geely. It's not really surprising that they are in Joint Ventures with Chinese companies.
    Rivian can join Tesla in your US based software designers (and in fact VW are opening a JV with Rivian) of course noting that they boosted their position it by taking on people Elon fired in 2022.
    So, not to worry, they will all catch up eventually (if they survive long enough) by taking on people for said loonies mass firings.
    Alternatively, they can decide to make unconnected vehicles at the cheap end of the market. Just because its an EV doesn't mean it has to have a massive screen, we could go down the Dacia Spring route and just sell small cheap and useful.

    Hi Dave, greetings from Oxford. GM made the EV1 back in the 1990s. You don’t actually need cutting edge software to make an EV, you do need high current inverter electronics and a charging management system. This can be achieved with legacy autos existing technologies. Legacy auto could make compelling EVs without advanced software. However their issue is that Tesla and Chinese EV makers have raised consumer expectations with their advanced software and over the air updates.

      True for lead acid batteries, they are simple to charge and discharge but that is about it, the standards have been leveled up a lot since the 1990s
      There are a lot of things in EVs that need to be monitored and adjusted all the time to make it perform optimally and the UI is now at a whole different level, and on top of that everything needs to support OTA, it is not unique to EVs

    • @ajward137

      It isn't as simple as you make out. The EV1 was a glorified milk-float in comparison!
      Legacy autos existing technologies (and their hundreds of suppliers) are why they can't make money on an EV and they can't do over-the-air updates. Expectations have been raised, and there's no going back. When and if Tesla release FSD, the Chinese will be the only people who have shown themselves able to compete (although not so much to make money - the Chinese Government heavily susidise the EV sector).
      On another front, it's looking like the Chinese are going to have problems with labour shortages, and getting competitive CPU chips soon.
      Tesla seems to be the only car manufacturer that doesn't have existential trouble brewing.

      @simon... 100% right.
      You do NOT "need" a software driven BMS. I should know- i design this sort of stuff. Electronics (hardware) can do it easily.
      The software is only needed to tell users how much charge is left or how long to charge. And to communicate with other systems.

    With greatest respect, this is complete nonsense. Nobody restrained an assembly line operator to a software engineer 😂😂
    Fact is that there's been a shortage of software engineers for 20 years.
    There's a reason why Windows are mostly coded in India. ABB are developing huge parts of their SW in Bangalore etc etc etc.
    This tech has happened so quickly that a country like Germany cannot keep up, they have 1m SW developers. China has 7m and India 5m.

    The software problem is actually a hardware problem. How do you write software for 100's of different components produced by 100's of different companies all with their own software systems. This is why Tesla software is so good, all their components are produced in house and are integrated from the start.

      @@rogerphelps9939 That's my point, the legacy auto industry don't have a "standardized" supply chain, every car sub-system has it's own unique proprietary system which the auto manufacture has little control over. Sure you can slap a i-pad in a car and call it an infotainment system, but what do you do when your ABS supplier changes the BIOS on their module. You can spout a couple of programming buzz words but that's not going to solve a problem that's basically systemic.

      @@mcarpenter2917 Exactly. The BIG problem is lack of standards for car computer systems & interfaces between components. If they could bang their heads together and build out those standard interfaces across the industry (i.e. an Internet of vehicle soft/firmware standards) they'd be able to source reliable software driven components from a variety of manufacturers based off a common standard spec. Much like the "PC Compatible" industry enabled the rapid spread of computers in the 80's & 90's (& eventually the creation of linux).

    The biggest issue isn't where the software is from, it's the people who think it's an issue. We have all long since given up control of data to companies. I don't really think that there is someone in china watching my cars video footage or are bothered by where I go. (If they were the satnav would work better) I can go out to my bike & take the tank off sure enough there are parts made in Japan, China & Sweden on a 24 year old Harley Davidson, who cares if it works.

      @computerbob06 not everyone has a toy drone though and just how interesting is the video of 5 yards of tarmac and trees from the average car. It would need 3 million plus staff to watch the footage from EVs currently on UK roads. There might be something of use intelligence wise on the occasional road but anyone with a mobile phone, Sat nav or who drives an EV have found the signal is jammed near them already.
      I've had no phone for an hour this morning because I live 6 miles from a tank range. Occasionally they jam signals in the wrong direction while they are playing soldiers.

    The main issue with vehicle software that has OTA updates has to be the fact that manufacturers can hold customers to ransom by locking both hardware and software features behind a paywall.
    It feels like the US are just using this an excuse to further their protectionist approach; US manufacturers don't want Chinese imports because it undercuts their domestic market.

    Same with the EV mandate the pace of battery development means your shiny new EV might be 2nd best within a couple of years hence weak residuals for 2nd tier cars.
    The time and technology challenge means that 2030 is still too soon to ban IC cars especially at the cheaper end.

Also it should be easy to prevent, unless cars are running vpn you could ensure that cars can only access local servers in home country, this would likly be the easy option/mandate gov should past.

    Embedded software programmers is what everyone needs (the sort that goes into a car radio or remote control).
    Not operating systems software engineers (like windows, ios, linux etc).
    But the beauty "mess up", is that in the average garage, the mechanics know how to fix mechanical cars. Fixing an EV is exactly like fixing a laptop or phone. Totally different situation.
    And if you disagree, you don't understand the problem.
    Fixing EVs is going to become VERY expensive long term.

    • @ronnielloyd4676
      @ronnielloyd4676 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      This isn't an EV issue, it's a software driven car issue. New ICE cars are just as big of an issue as EVs. This has been happening for some time. For years now, whenever I took my car into a garage with a problem, the mechanic plugged in a diagnostic tool, which told them what the issue was. Probably 80% of the time it was correct. The mechanic (most of the time) replaced what they were told to replace, and most of the time, that cured the problem. This is just the next step. More complicated, more difficult to diagnose, more complex to fix, so the fix will be to swap out components until the problem disappears.

    Think that is a problem? It's not just your smartphones or EVs. Look at ownership of UK Power Networks (UKPN), the energy distributor supplying (as a monopoly) the UK 's South East, London and East Anglia.
    UKPN is owned by Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings (40%), Power Assets Holdings (40%), and The Li Ka Shing Foundation (20%) . These entities are part of the Cheung Kong Group, a conglomerate based in Hong Kong, controlled by the billionaire Li Ka-shing.
    My concern is that power to London is controlled from China. That is, actors in China own and _potentially_ can turn off the whole of London, Kent, Norfolk and Suffolk. And, long known to HMG and the UK power industry. Ho ho ho...
