I know I am probably going to regret the avalanche of nerdery that is about to ensue, but can anybody explain to a non-programmer why Ford is having so many bugs with SYNC, and why it is so slow to fix those bugs?
There are countless threads about (1) bugs that still exist after two years, and (2) how new releases not only fail to fix old bugs but introduce new ones.
I guess the first question is, is SYNC inordinately buggy, or is this to be expected and accepted?
What do you think is the reason for the bugginess? To my feeble mind, once you create a stable platform, you should be able to add features without effing up the stuff that already works, but that doesnât seem to be the case with Ford. Yes? No?
And then there are the bugs that Ford has known about for years but hasnât fixed. Why the delay? Is it really so hard to fix bugs that these cannot be prioritized?
Is it possible that part of the problem is outsourcing portions of software development to different countries / languages? I donât even know that Ford does that, but I assume that they do. I remember when NASA crashed that probe into Mars because they failed to convert imperial to metric, for example.
Or is this a âyou get what you pay forâ situation and Ford hasnât adequately invested in software dev?
Any insight for laymen would be appreciated.
