Mercedes admits "Electronics Overkill"

"A great many of the improvements which have been made in vehicle technology over the past decade or so have been down to electronic development, but it's possible to have a nagging suspicion that the manufacturers are overdoing it.

The manufacturers are beginning to think along similar lines - or at least Mercedes-Benz is. Its electronics vice-president Stephan Wolfsried has admitted that "last year we removed over 600 functions from our cars - functions that no one really needed and no one knew how to use."

He added that failures in integrating these parts into the overall electronics structure meant that all they were doing was causing malfunctioning of more important items.

The most recent problem Mercedes experienced in this area led to a recall of 650,000 cars world-wide last month, due to possible malfunctioning of a new electronic braking system developed in conjunction with Robert Bosch."

L'ho riportato solo per dire che finalmente alcune case cominciano a capire che imbottire le auto di troppa elettronica può essere molto controproducente. La trovo tutto sommato una buona notizia, soprattutto per noi automobilisti che altrimenti di questo passo ci troveremmo con auto sofisticatissime e troppo delicate... :wink:

brutta storia

dove è la fantomatica qualità tedesca?

brutta storia, purtroppo è il pegno da pagare quando le auto hanno TROPPA elettronica, prima o poi qualcosa va in conflitto. speriamo che risolvano presto e bene
