These problems were attributed to glitches in the software used in these cars.<br /><br />Varchasvi said his company designed the ‘Vehicle Testing Framework’. The framework consisted of metal cages which consisted of bucks (a bench set up of the vehicle) that could provide an end to end vehicle environment for diagnostic testing across various models and help save the companies significant cost and time.
