    My pay is higher than my peers, because I could negotiate it

    Case in point. "I got mine, you get yours" attitude that is why unions won't take off in this space. At some point in the past people realize company owners really weren't looking out for them.

    A terrible way to live.

    I both work in this industry and own a vehicle made by someone we don't compete with.

    People think it's like a Movie or TV show they watched.

    Where is the repository to submit an issue? As someone that deals with CANape and ADAS systems all day long, where can I get the .a2l file for my car? Without me cracking it open to see, what embedded chipset(s) are you using? What ADAS level are these? What ASIL level is your entire stack? Can I see a basic block diagram (Simulink) of the system?

    If anyone at Subaru is reading. The 2019 Outback with EyeSight adaptive cruise control doesn't detect a stopped vehicle as a 'vehicle' ahead of it.

    Also, stop treating the 'keep your lane' feature like a bang bang controller. Estimate a dead center path and keep it centered on that. You'd also probably subconsciously train the drivers to keep it in the middle of the road instead of bouncing from side to side.

    Most of these complaints would probably be addressed by giving product demos. At some point I'm going to string up a tarp and see exactly how braking acts. I've pushed it to my "Holy shit stop" limit already.

    Also, the icons are confusing as shit. I know some UX team spent years on those, give me a better way to know you see the car in front of me than some blinking light. Half the people on the road would drive with an oil light on, and do.

    They also need to standardize on some name. Every company has a cutesy marketing term for what their product does.

    Finally getting exposure to a lot of unions not all American Unions are created equally.

    The UAW is one of the most useless organizations in the world. It still exists so some members can skim off of it and blow money on golf courses and radio stations. It sums up everything that is wrong with American Unions.

    Trade unions, especially local ones, are great. I've watched 'not college material' peers get good educations, training and jobs. They act more like German Engineers union than the UAW.

    Some unions still actually go on strike. The UAW basically backs down at the last minute, screwing the guys on the bottom while saving face for 'negotiating'.

    Programmers and IT in the US could really use the latter types. Fair working hours, fair wages, protection from a H1B changeover, ageism/seniority, could all be addressed if workers would stand together. The problem is everyone is willing to throw each other under the bus because they believe themselves 'rock stars' that will never run into those issues.

    This is the same crowd (35-45) that fell for "Sign up for a credit card, get this free T-Shirt" during the first days of college.

    Some people weren't taught how credit works. I graduated in 2006, sometime before I graduated the campus rules changed and suddenly all the credit card companies were gone. I knew people with 5 T-shirts through 5 different creditcard companies. "It's free, who cares".

    The same people that buy micro-transactions to play a "free" game.

    It is not always the identical internals.

    It is. They may have 3 different iron sets to cover the full range by a liter size. But within each iron set there will be multiple horse power ratings. It was a well known truck fleet tactic to buy a lower power engine, get a good 250-500k mi out of it then repower it to sell it.

    Every single flash file may contain all the rating maps and it's just toggled by a bit flip at some memory address.
