"Rusty New 'ars: Look, Ma, No C Added!"
summary
Builds an electric vehicle prototype stack in pure Rust #[no_std] with embedded crates (peripheral access, embedded-hal, embassy), implements drive-by-wire and type-state safety, and assembles a battery pack from ~200 18650 cells with individual fuses and a BMS. Prototype one runs a go-kart at 64 km/h top speed; benchmarking shows a 15× speedup when running critical code from SRAM vs flash. Demos show independent ADC-mapped throttle and brake and working motor control.
