Mercedes Recall, Brake and Computer System
« on: June 03, 2005, 12:42:56 PM »
On DW TV's car Show, there is a discussion about recent recall of 1.8 millions high end Mercedes cars because of defective electronic brake system.

According to one engineer, the main problem is the defective computer system hardware (based on Motorola PowerPC). But according to Motorola, the main problem is the software. There is a plan by Daimler to sue Motorola.

Is the above news true?
Is the main problem hardware (defective CPU / components / design) or
software?
