The automotive industry isn&#x27;t populated by idiots -- but writing safety critical software isn&#x27;t the same as writing an app.<p>It is true that there is no <i>fundamental</i> conflict between modern software development practices (Agile etc..) and process-maturity oriented standards like ISO15504 &#x2F; ASPICE &#x2F; ISO26262 &#x2F; DO-178b etc... but writing the tools, build-systems etc... that let these differing concerns coexist in harmony <i>does</i> take some careful consideration, planning, and organisation.
