So if the software say drive at 133mph, then that's feasible?
This would be a good time to acknowledge that the 'result' MB has achieved here is completely irrelevant.
Time that changed then.
Two current difficulties I have. The pop-up ads on this forum (only this forum) and currently being unable to access any Channel 4 programmes on-line. This forum says use an ad blocker, Channel 4 says disable any ad blocker. FFS, why are these contradictions and complications. A mechanical engineer wouldn't get a free pass on shit like this.
Most of the programmers who wrote the code for Ms-DOS, which is the basis for Windows 3.11, parts of which are still alive in Windows 11, are either retried or dead. The same goes for Word, Excel, Outlook, and may other programs in daily use. We no longer know what software does, or how it does it. Going back? Sure, you know here to find the Amish (they are in Pennsylvania).
As for MB's achievement, these things are known as technology demonstrators, they are meant to demonstrate and test the tech, a variant of which eventually finds its way into production models - that's just how the car-making industry works.
