Cruise ships are more complicated than modern aircraft - they are made up of more than 10 million individual parts and assemblies, compared to about one million parts for the largest passenger airplanes and about 10,000 parts for a car. But both cruise ships and next-generation electric cars will benefit from life-cycle software, according to two announcements made this month
