> You're still missing the point. It isn't about knowing how rockets work or anything in particular. It's about being able to search for and recognize issues.

Still, the issues you'll likely encounter inside a car are very very different from the ones you'll see inside a historically grown distributed system serving millions of web, app and API requests. Auditing code is more than analyzing runtime/memory complexity.

Thats not to say it's impossible for Tesla engineers to audit. But I'd imagine it would take quite a bit of time to gather meaningful insight into the landscape and would hardly be an efficient use of the time of senior Tesla engineers.

There are many systems involved in those cars, there's also many people working for those kind of companies who do not solely "work on cars."

I agree.

Take longer than if the team were comprised of Twitter staff or who are already familiar with Twitter's infrastructure and code base? Sure. But that's the case with just about any audit conducted by an outside entity.
