I think I may actually need one of these #espressif #esp 32 #controllers with #can in the future: https://hackaday.com/2022/10/10/this-esp.. I have a #sideproject to build some #automotive #electronics ... Would be great to be able to #flash the #device #remotely from inside a #sealed unit, rather than take it apart to #reflash it. Also would be great to collect #data #remotely too.
Looks like the #chinese #ev #market is in trouble due to #raw #material #costs - meaning the other #automotive #manufacturers are likely in trouble too: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/chines.. Bare in mind, a bunch of #economies such as #germany and #japan rely on this #income of #exported #vehicles ...
Interesting, it appears possible to get a #raspberrypi to #boot in just 2 seconds: https://www.furkantokac.com/rpi3-fast-bo.. When I finally get back to the #uk I intend to work on some #automotive #applications and this sort of thing will be absolutely required for #safe #operation ... (I.e. #quick #reboot #capability !)
Another #car #manufacturer in the #automotive #industry is shutting down due to the #chip #shortage - this time #opal #vauxhal in #germany https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-t.. An #economic #collapse is imminent... How can the largest industries in these economies pause for more than a year and not result in lost jobs and a massive decline in their respective #economies ?
It's not enough that #environment #activists are coming for the #fuel in your #car - they want to get rid of the #automotive #industry entirely - no more personal #transport https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIBeIKAo.. As #jefftaylor suggests, the #uk is failing to #invest into future #demand - it can't even handle today's demand!
#goldmansachs also sees the #automotive #industry #production #shrinking https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/goldma.. I saw people joking about driving an #ev instead of #fossil #fuel as the #uk fuel #shortage gets worse, but they can't #manufacture them! Worst still, #electricity is getting more #expensive as there's no #wind #power and #russia 's #gas prices are skyrocketing!
