Alison Chaiken (Google+) and Elecia discuss what you need to know to get into development for the automotive market.

Check out Alison's she-devel site for a big list of links and resources or go to a Silicon Valley Automotive Open Source Group meetup to say hello. A small subset:

• Open source engine management system on DIYEFI
• Car hacking site MP3 Car
• Vehicle standards ISO-26262

CORRECTION: In the show, Elecia talks about airplane certification levels as though only the size of the plane matters. As listener Burko points out, the certification level also depends on how critical the subsystem is. Those seatback tray tables don't have to be certified to DO178A, but the artificial horizon does.]
