A comment on Former Tesla Firmware Engineer Discusses the System. Parent comment
An RTOS has nice guarantees, and I definitely see the appeal, but on the other hand:
- SpaceX machines receive more irradiation that computers on the ground, so computation errors already make the behaviour of the software chaotic,
- The wealth of complex, widespread libraries helps a lot.
