@shtrom @jwildeboer I got an EV, the software (the infotainment system) is annoying.

Borrowed an ICE vehicle from same manufacturer while my car was serviced. Same software, same annoying things.

It's not the engine, its the dashboard.

I wouldn't worry about any obsolescence, that would imply updates and I'm pretty sure car manufacturers generally don't update much. And, they could mess you around with an EV as much as an ICE vehicle.

I want to know now how they thought "be a lighthouse" helped.

What was their angle? Something about shining or guiding or just working all night?

@ArchiteuthisFlux there's that minor crashing into land issue, but also something that moves an output left/right (or up/down or hot/cold) to correct for an error is pretty much the definition of a closed-loop system.

I mean if some VC wants to give me, say, a gazzilion dollars for an op-amp or PID controller I'm all for it.
