(I’m not the author, but I found it interesting)
Reminds me of the time I was working on something for Mercedes but they couldn’t supply me with the computer for testing. I had to go into the super cramped actual car that was parked in a super expensive secure garage.
Left the company and when I went there for a visit I saw that the new guy actually got to test and develope on a computer they had ripped out of a car.
I don’t understand why went to the all that trouble to connect that very peculiar cable that is, as it is described, 2 power + 4 data instead of just connecting it using whatever he had.
It says in the article they tried stripping and reconnecting the cut cables but the wires were too thin and they shorted something out. I don’t think they had enough wire left to work with because of how short they were cut
Plot twist: it ends up being a skinned TempleOS
That’s what I’ve been asking Musk on Twitter like a decade ago, when we were testing some website on Tesla, but the fucker never replied.
Interesting that someone can do that much but not know that cars use wiring harnesses.
