Modern Cars Have More Software Than the Space Shuttle

In 1981, NASA’s Space Shuttle ran on five IBM flight computers with 424KB of memory and a speed of 1 MHz.
A modern car, on the other hand, can run over 100 million lines of code through dozens of onboard computers.
From braking systems to lane detection, your vehicle’s software handles more decisions per second than a shuttle did during liftoff.
