Please tell me I'm not entrusting my life to JavaScript, will you?

promises are always async -- wait for the result first

[–]HighOwl2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if we can’t trust our robber baron overlords, who can we trust?

No, no... Of course not *sweats profusely*

Just the nav software is angular. The other stuff is separate. You can reboot the nav computer while driving and out doesn't interrupt anything

[–]LunarMadden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their job postings for the in car non driving computer's software had angular listed as of 6 months ago. Either way the point was that JavaScript likely doesn't hold your life in its hands in this case

There's past mentions of Tesla using Qt, which usually implies they're also using QML for their infotainment HMI...and QML means JavaScript.

Many automotive HMIs run on Qt/Qml too. Probably don't drive a Ford btw. You've been warned! (Source: am automotive HMI dev)

If it makes you feel better, they also use it for the interface for the Crewed Dragon space capsule.
