[QUOTE="BigPoppa, post: 16152411, member: 177587"] As an engineer.... I'll impart what I've learned after 23 years in my trade. Fresh out of school engineers don't know their ass from a hole in the wall. After years of learning their trade, they finally become proficient in their field and end up becoming project managers where that knowledge is pretty much wasted. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. You ever wonder how things we've been making for years keep getting design screwups? Yep. The fresh engineer worked on it. Or....even better (my personal favorite)....let's have the interns design this widget! No, these cars are not designed by people with as much knowledge about the subject as you would believe. Even better, most of the parts are designed by outside firms and makers like GM just integrate those parts (Moog, Siemens, Bosch....) For example, the LAN issue. Machine makers have been using this concept for communication between modules for the last 20 years. Ask any engineer who has worked on a PLC or DCS in the last 2 decades. But, not many car designers have a clue that technology is out there. Because they don't develop that technology, the third party firms do......see my comment about integrating parts. [/QUOTE]
