Volvo: Actually, the low power ECU in the EX90 and Polestar 3 shipping today are written in Rust.
Thank you to Tweede Golf for publishing this. I know there's so much more going on that I can't talk about, so it's great to get these kinds of quotes out into the public realm.

eloy@hsnl.social@thejpster > It turned out the low-power processor was a perfect fit for using Rust! It was not classified as a safety-critical component and it was an Arm Cortex-M processor
that seems... kinda insane?

jarkkoThere's a really cool hard RTOS framework from Sweden focused on Cortext-M, and more recently ported to RISC-V, based on hardware priority based scheduling. Wonder if they are basing on that: https://rtic.rs/2/book/en/. Met the creator randomly about a year ago (was visiting at the local university in Tampere, FI), and he gave a great presentation about their research groups work. Was quite amazed.
Its task creation and other shenanigans are essentially a small domain language based on Rust macros and end outcome is bare-metal blobs.

thejpster@hachyderm.io@jarkko My colleague Jorge worked on it at Uni.
But good question - I don’t know if Volvo are using embassy, or RTIC, or Tock OS, or if they rolled their own event handling.

Heh, that "nobody's using XXX" always does the triggering job for me :-) Actually, if I consider any tech conference, I'm *most* interested on presentations where someone is doing something with tools that nobody's using. That's why I e.g. went to see a Servo presentation back in LinuxCon EU 2014. I went to see it exactly because nobody was using Rust, and thus it grabbed my attention. Popularity is not really a recommended way to approach tech really.
