" Da avionics system in da F-22 Raptor, da current U.S n' shit. Air Force frontline jet fighter, consists of about 1.7 million lines of software code, know what I'm sayin'? Da F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, scheduled to become operational in 2010, gots to require about 5.7 million lines of code to operate its onboard systems n' shit. And Boeing’s new 787 Dreamliner, scheduled to be delivered to customers in 2010, requires about 6.5 million lines of software code to operate its avionics 'n onboard support systems.
These be impressive amounts of software, yet if yo' ass bought a premium-class automobile recently, ”it probably contains close to 100 million lines of software code,” says Manfred Broy, a professor of informatics at Technical University, Munich, 'n a leadin' expert on software in cars n' shit. All dat software executes on 70 to 100 microprocessor-based electronic control units (ECUs) networked throughout da body of yo' car." Discovery
This just blew ma mind, man. Da fact dat a recent salon contains 5-10 times da amount of code required on da newest jumbo jet or da latest generation fighta jet be quite unbelievable.

Unbelievable? Or truly inefficient?
Afta seein' what has happened wid regards of issues wid da brakes 'n otha parts of da modern cars, ma best guess be dat there's a needs fo someone to take a holistic view at current cars 'n just streamline all of these processes.
Modern cars has improved quite a lot wid da usage of electronics in many cases they has become safer, 'mo efficient 'n reliable, but wid dis kind of grow in electronics yo' ass to start questionin' how often yo' ass gots to needs to "reboot" 'em as yo' ass would yo' PC.
Has a look at da article on Prius problems pu spotlight on ride electronics which Ah found today, Ah think it's interestin' wid regards of what yo' ass quoted here Dody.
Ah rememba dat old joke of Bill Gates dissin' Ford about how da auto industry can't make its cars 'mo efficient 'n less expensive, like how da IT industry makes chips double in powa 'n halve in size every 18 months.
Tank god da code weren't written by Windows's programmers!
