The full story
A VW T5 builder used Claude to draft drive-mode and pedal-scaling specifications while assembling a through-the-road hybrid with a rear electric motor.
The source lists completed steering and brake-assist work alongside unfinished motor-mount, driveshaft and control work. Gemini and ChatGPT were used to cross-check the draft; the author still asks for human review rather than claiming a completed control system.
