embedded windows

😬😬

Wait, seriously? Is there an actual car that runs Windows?! I thought vehicles as a rule use hard real-time operating systems to avoid scheduling conflicts between a critical process and an auxiliary process.

I’d be surprised if it handles any actual car functions. Almost certainly just the center media console

I don’t trust that shit to run a web browser let alone 2 Tonnes of fast moving steel.

It’s almost certainly just the OS for the center media console.

which car does this, i dont believe it

Some Ford and Fiat cars, look at this Wikipedia article for reference.

Nah. There are devices on the market that specifically market that their processor is compatible with embedded Windows. It’s a specific version of Windows iirc

Yeah, at a previous job, we had hand scanners with embedded Windows on them. It looked like Windows 98 and might even have been a fork from it. I definitely couldn’t imagine a modern Windows running on those low-powered devices.

Side point but I love that song and album from your username.

Oh thanks! My favorite off that album is Miss Me. Such a neat style
