This news item will <\/a>age not as well as the milk you have in your fridge right now. Volkswagen can not make software. They can bend metal wonderfully – and much better than Tesla. Looking inside of the trunk of the Model S reminded me of Fiats made in Romania from 30 years ago. When they were new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But VW simply does not have the culture to create software. They have super smart engineers. But an engineering culture that is not compatible with software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bluetooth connection in our Golf VII is a bit sketchy. I was asking the dealer if there would be an update. There was a day long download, but it turns out it was just for the maps. Which are still dismal. I asked in Wolfsburg. They wrote me back that the car and software left the factory perfectly adjusted to each other. And that VW would not change that. They were serious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the while Tesla gathers actual data from people driving on their current autopilot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For people that bought the ID.3 before December 2020 updating your software means that you have to bring the car to the dealer. Continental is supposed building a High Speed Computer to help VW with over the air updates in the future. High speed seems to be needed. Currently the in shop update times are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ID.Software2.0 only, 6-7 hours
ID.Software2.0 & 2.1 at the same time, 7-9 hours
ID.Software2.1 only, 1-2 hours<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Q1 2021 is when VW wants to start with over the air updates. In the meantime Tesla is updating their software on an hourly basis<\/a>. If you are in a culture in software where you push little things all the time you never run into the big “Version 2” issues. Small things go out. Some even broken, but you know quickly when, and you get them cleared out before they cause much damage. There is never a “Version 2.0” update for FB, google or AWS. There are lots of minor features, things etc. being released and monitored. VW makes software like they make cars: They ‘build’ a release and push it out. Every couple of months it seems. Having 5000 people working on VW.OS is not got gonna fix that. I doubt many of those 5000 people code. Most of them write “Pflichtenheft” and discuss how to implement them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
