Risk Mitigation: Don’t Make Storage an Afterthought in Software-Defined Vehicles

by Max Maxfield - May 2, 2023

I was just cogitating on the company Western Digital. In turn, this led me to ruminate on the Monty Python movie The Life of Brian. In particular, I was recollecting the What have the Romans ever done for us? sketch.

As you doubtless recall, this salty satire starts with the character played by John Cleese chairing a protest meeting … Read More → "Risk Mitigation: Don’t Make Storage an Afterthought in Software-Defined Vehicles"

Green Fields of Opportunity: How RISC-V is Changing the Way Our Industry Works
