Raspberry Pis Found in Abandoned Spin Scooters in Seattle

Where was this knowledge when the Pi supply was low?

Title says most of it. Spin electric scooters exited the Seattle market and abandoned their scooters all over the city and apparently they have a pi 4 in them!

    It’s a lot cheaper than getting an EE to design you a more efficient bespoke solution.

        They probably could have used a Pico, certainly a zero instead of a 4

        This is what I mean. It’s not like they are running some kind of image processing or literally anything heavy.

        Just seems way over the top. Also my bet is it they didn’t bother with bespoke hardware they probably didn’t do much to power optimize.
