Imagine a self-driving car navigating a busy city street. It detects pedestrians, reacts to sudden obstacles, and ensures passenger safety – all in milliseconds. But behind the scenes, hidden from view, lies an invisible force that makes it all possible: the C and C++ compilers and libraries that transform complex ADAS software into machine-executable code. In this presentation, we will explore the role of the compiler and standard library, common pitfalls, and strategies for ensuring reliability.
