Subject: ``Software explosion rattles car makers''
Automakers [are facing] runaway growth in the lines of code their
engineers
must write and manage as microprocessors take over automotive
functions...
``Software is where the problem is today,'' said William Powers, VP of
research at Ford. ``Today, if you change a line of code, you're looking
at
the potential for some major problems. Hardware is very predictable,
very
repeatable. Software is in much more of a transient state.'' The
volume of
code is exploding as processors proliferate behind the dashboard and
under
the hood. The typical auto has 10 to 15 processors; high-end cars can
have
as many as 80 ... ``An engine controller can have 100,000 lines of
code''
[according to a Bosch VP]. [``Software explosion rattles car makers'',
*Electronic Engineering Times*, 28 Oct 1996, front page.]

Hmmmm... large real-time embedded systems with maintenance problems?
