A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Just to expand on this: a car company doesn't do the detail design for supplied components. They give general requirements like loads, lifespan, and specs about mating surfaces, but the supplier has more knowledge about designing their products than the car company. However, the car company can still override the supplier's advice or decisions about design characteristics. They are the customer, after all.
TIL. Thanks!
