Sensus update
Last night (most of it) I updated the maps on my 2015.5 V60. The process, finally completed, was not without a few glitches. After formatting, reformatting and trying to start with the called-for 32Gig USMB "thumb drive" only to be told that there was not enough room to copy the file, I used a 64 Gig drive and the process started. It turns out that the file is about 35 Gigs. The process seemed to be very slow with transfer rates of only a few (3 - 3.5) Mbits/sec, even dropping occasionally into the Kbits/sec range. My fibre optic internet connection is fast - advertised as about a Gig/sec. I checked it and it was, indeed, running at 850+ M/sec up and down. The Sensus download continued, eventually reaching ~ 8 Mbit/sec. It had been running for about 5 hours when I called it a night. This AM is was complete.
OK, it was running in the background through a USB connection but this same USB hub will accommodate a back-up program that backs up a 500Gbit SDD in 12 minutes.
My conclusion is that Volvo is using a Commodore 64 as a server, augmented with tape drives from a Control Data 6000 as a memory bank.

Too generous
I think you're being a little generous with the Commodore 64, I was thinking ZX80...
I've been in the low KB/s and have about 39 hours to completion. Running a 100MBs fibre at home.
It's a joke!
