Software Sucks, but It Doesn’t Have To

Cars That Think

You can’t see, hear, taste, feel, or smell it, but software is everywhere around us. It underpins modern civilization even while consuming more energy, wealth, and time than it needs to and burping out a significant amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The software industry and the code it ships need to be much more efficient in order to minimize the emissions attributable to programs running in data centers and over transmission networks.

@Peter Klausner In reply to Peter Klausner. Biased on the promised sales success of the ET5, may be. ONVO is too late, because of too fierce competition. And, the sub-brand is a huge mistake. The small Mercedes A-class could benefit from the image of the larger models. Although, sub-branding might be thought of being the method to distinguish from the failing main brand.
