Thanks for the sympathetic reply, but luckily I left the automotive industry a while ago, and I did it because of AUTOSAR. I honestly felt uncomfortable working on AUTOSAR projects, and I mean ethically, they were safety critical components I was working on and no one understood anything, being able to understand a system is a hard prerequisite to being able to sign off on it, and I could not work under those conditions with a clear conscious.

I will have to take your word on seeing projects worse than AUTOSAR ones, I have seen terrible non-AUTOSAR projects, but the only good projects I have ever seen in the automotive industry have been non-AUTOSAR ones.
