The Software Engineering Behind Electric Vehicles
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2023
- We are in the midst of a revolution in the car industry that will change how we buy, use and interact with cars forever. This move is driven by the need to make personal transport less polluting, and the shift to electric cars, but this is about more than electric cars vs petrol cars, the changes that are coming are in some ways more profound than that. Modern electric cars are computing platforms, and the nature of the cars themselves, electric cars have fewer mechanical parts and are more broadly electronic, as well as electrical devices, which means that they are more flexible and so a better platform for innovation.
In this episode software engineer and award-winning author, Dave Farley explains how software is at the heart of this revolutionary change.

I'm the lead of a product in the software company on the biggest car company in the world. This is a clash of worlds between CI and V-model, best practices vs compliance/regulations, certity vs innvoation, web vs embedded... I can go on for a while. I can tell there are very smart people here. The challenge is not small. I love working here
It's Volkswagen
@@havokgames8297 It's any car company. Tesla is tech firm, not car company officially :)
Title is misleading. The video has little to do with how an EV works.
EDIT: I see he changed the title. (Used to be something like "How EVs really work: The Software of Electric Vehicles")
Yeah I have the same impression as well. I thought it was going to talk about how self driving is implemented like what technology is used, how much is the role of Machine Learning in it.
We're really struggling to develop user experiences in the car that compete with Carplay. I would add that in order for car manufacturers to compete, especially luxury autos, they will likely start pushing more and more absurd car features.
In order for self driving to be the future, roads will have to be maintained to a much higher degree.
This alone is a reason i believe outside of freeways, we will never see wide scale adoption of self driving cars.
The logistic implications are huge though, as road trains will become a major alternative to rail, requiring only a truck driver to pick up the load from a parking lot and drive it the last few miles to the destination.
I'm almost curious why you think self driving needs better roads, but not THAT curious because it's just going to be the same old FUD.
Jeez, this is awful. Cars that are hackable, track everything you do, vulnerable to software flaws, have end of life software support termination, non-repairable (or only by a monopoly), with microtransaction add-on features and ads. As a programmer I don't ever want to buy a car with an internet connection.
That's like making the statement 10years ago you dont want internet connection at home or work.
@@pietersmit621 A fault in your internet connection won't kill you. It's not the same.
This explains why Teslas are such bad quality vehicles with so many problems, recalls, software patches, etc. and why there are entire forums for helping people workaround problems for things like screens going blank (very dangerous when it happens unexpectedly at night) and battery problems, etc. situations that need soft or hard reboots. I'll wait for a Toyota I think!
You've never been in a Tesla, have you?
Enjoy waiting for Toyota. You'll be waiting a long, long, long time.
bZX4 with not so great SW awaits :)
But yeah, Teslas have many issues downplayed by fanboys
Didn't the Toyota bzx4 loose it's wheels and had to be recalled?
Just like Tesla when losing steering wheel 😃
Internet of things...
A car is mostly dead capital and declines in value rapidly. Most people use it only for up to 1to 2 hours on average. Especially when they live in a big city with public transport. Some gimmicks are nice but not essential and a big distraction while driving. It's best not to overengineer it.
That's why people voted against big screens in cars for everything :)
In which country was the vote ?
Horses used to be a major means of transportation. Now people mostly have horses for sport or recreational hobby.
Following up with Dave's comment near the end the end of the video, I suspect the same will occur with cars too in the decades to come.
Only if we finally invent teleportation or floating personal transportation devices.
My imposter syndrome wants to know if automotive software developers have less software knowledge than web developers. Since the web services industry changes their frameworks and preferred languages every couple of months while we are mainly using C++, a language that web developers claim is dead already.
I don't think that less knowledge of web frameworks (or any frameworks) equates to "less software knowledge", so I'd say "no".
I suppose in one sense it is less, but not in a way that stops you being able to build software, there is quite a lot of "emperor's new clothes" in chasing the latest fads in frameworks.
Not all frameworks are bad, but not all are good either 😕
I work as test engineer in automotive company and I'd say that skillset needed is totally different. Plus, it's not C++, it's C and bazilions of money for things like Vector MICROSAR ;)
It's a different skill set but it doesn't change dramatically very often too. The only taste of modern software development we get is from test & simulation framework and continuous integration pipelines.
@@StdDev99 If you even have CI running then that's nice. Having 'CI' on testing is even better. SW testing where I work are limited but runs every night. Now us, system tests, are also gaining 'continuous' runs :)
Atomotive GUIs are also using web technologies nowadays.
9:53 UK is not part of Europe?
did you miss the whole brexit thing?
@@meowcitten you should review your knowledge about Geography.
It still is in my heart 😊
@@Sergio_Loureirowell the UK has always been a completely different landmass, and for much of history had its own distinct civil administration, as it does now. Pull your head out of your ass.
Few comments from automotive test engineer :)
1. Android Auto/Apple CarPlay are either behind payment or removed to just use Android Automotive.
2. Best navigation done in car is just to put shortcut to google maps :D
3. People vote currently with their wallets against screen-only cars. This 'Semi-open' setup for the car will NEVER happen. Why? Because every company wants to have their own piece of cake, and that piece to be as close to whole cake as possible, called greed for money.
4. Standardization in automotive is called AUTOSAR, ISO 26262, ASPICE and probably others, but that does not tackle things you're talking about :D
5. Having electric vehicle does not mean that they will be much more flexible to work on them, even ICE cars have tons of electronics and currently the only thing differencing ICE and EV cars are engine and 'fuel' type :).
6. For Energy sources it's simple - nuclear + renewable energy with recycled batteries, like tesla have second life for them in banks of energy
7. Vehicle to grid yes, exists, even standards are there, but not every industry have same view on software usage and handling as tech companies
8. For EVs, BYD have a lead, not Tesla tho. Plus, CATL batteries... yummy.
9. Tesla FSD... yes... more covering up of failures of this system by Tesla is needed for FSD development, yes... ;)
It only takes one manufacturer to accept being the TSMC of commoditized car manufacture. Greed money holdouts will not be able to compete if and when this becomes possible.
@@DingoAteMeBaby But nobody will, why? Automotive industry is totally different beast than semiconductor one. Additionally, existence of TSMC did not eradicate 'greed money holdouts' from semiconductor space, it's just yet another player ;)
