I haven't driven this particular car, but if it's anything like any other infotainment system I've seen, I'm really hoping they're able get a profiler running on there to determine the technique they use to get massive frame drops on hardware they fully control.

		It went like this: We need a team of very good sw developers. Maybe we can have 20% of the team be cheap "developers", people that have no inclination towards sw development to do the boring stuff. Maybe 20% of real developers is enough in a team. The rest will learn from them. Let's have 100% cheap developers, the project only needs changes. We can get even cheaper developers, come to us with no prior experience and in 3 months we will teach you what you need to know. Our projects are delayed due to covid. Oh no, the Chinese!

The word 'Infotainment' makes me want to barf.

		It’s obsolete anyway. If the board is analysing video for safety purposes it’s a core part of the car.
