Question 22

An apprentice system designer is explaining the difference between the hardware and software of a new automated drone. They state:

'The hardware consists of the guidance algorithms and flight control programs stored in the memory, as they are hardwired into the drone's logic, while the software refers to the lightweight, flexible physical parts such as the propellers, carbon-fibre landing gear, and soft protective bumpers.'

Explain two conceptual errors in the apprentice's statement.
