How does a car end up with that many lines of code?
New cars have many embedded computers. Motor controller, safety systems, parking aids, navigation, IVI, etc. all need code.
There are more programming jobs that deal with the upkeep of code rather than the synthesis of code right?
Most programmers do both and I think the older software gets, the more work is used in the upkeep.
Sure there is software which is released and never updated, but I think most is kept updated for years.
I think that more than anything else this just goes to show how sophisticated UNIX was.
When I see it it reminds me the movie "pi" (the number pi)
