"Given that a typical luxury car can have more than 100 million lines of software code running everything from navigation systems to climate control to acceleration and braking systems, this is clearly more than an academic issue. According to a 2008 report from research firm Frost & Sullivan, the number of lines of code in each individual car will likely rise to the 300 million mark over the next few years. If ways to reduce the defect rate of software are not identified, the benefits of Moore's Law will be overwhelmed by the exponential growth of software quality problems."
