It was loads of fun. Decided to try out go, so the first couple of days were a bit slow but from then on it was pure fun. Even though the elves VS goblin game was a bit too much to handle in one single day...
As a Swede owning an expensive apartment this sucks. Currently we only need to pay mortgage down to 75%, so a lot of young swedes will loose a great deal of money.
I tried doing sensor fusion with simulink and I thought it was horrible. Then me and my team switched to python instead and it worked really well. Never understood why to use simulink for other things then just controls.
Yeah testing needs to be done with compiled code on target card otherwise you can't be sure it works. Usually compiling code is super strict no further optimization then the standard can be used etc. Only specific cards and compilers are "trusted" to use.
Yes and the code/models go through extensive testing. Everyone in the industry knows that a callback because of faulty software will cost an insane amount of money. This is changing a bit since more and more work is going towards over-the-air update.
In automotive, code is very rarely written it is mostly generated from simulink models. But yes software for aviation automotive, nuclear and medicine equipment are running safe C code.
It is mostly generated from a model not necessarily simulink. The generated code usually have rules for the code so no global parameters, no pointers etc can be used.
I have a background as a programmer and recently started using Matlab/simulink. It is good for some things like controllers etc. Can't really say I like it for things I would usually use when programming, like loops and if statements(I know simulink has these but they make no sense).
I also believe simulink has been used mostly for simulation therefore it's name and not programming. However now you can generate code from your model.
Ofc they will fail at some point, there is nothing magical about a self-driving car. What I meant with the previous post is that it could be fail-operational see for example the volvo drive-me.
Nope doesn't make it fail-safe at all and I don't think that is very hard to accomplish. What can be accomplished is fail-operational, if one sensors goes down using other sensors the car can navigate it-self to safety.
You will always have a redudancy of sensors in case they fail. The front looking camera usually does have a complimentary lidar and most cars are even equipped with both camera and radar in case a sensor goes AWOL. This will be the case is selfdriving cars as well. I think they will have even more redudancy then we see with ADAS cars today.
