Premium class automobile has 100 million lines[1] or of that order, whereas a Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner require less than 1&#x2F;10th of that. LoC is no measure of complexity of a system but it is still an indicator of how much is going on inside. So what is it that an airplane doesn&#x27;t have but a modern car has?<p>[1]http:&#x2F;&#x2F;spectrum.ieee.org&#x2F;transportation&#x2F;systems&#x2F;this-car-runs-on-code<p>* 2009 link but coming from IEEE, I believe it is credible enough.<p>*Not sure if it really qualifies to be Ask HN question
Ask HN: A 787 Dreamliner has less than 1/10th of the code of a modern car. Why?
