I read somewhere the problem has since been solved for newer locomotives; the electronics are off-the-shelf now and the proprietary bits are in the software rather than hardware.Genesis came about during a time period where off the shelf electronics couldn't possibly control a locomotive, so had to be custom built. I'd imagine the same problem afflicts aircraft of that era as well. |
