  1. Deutsche Bahn refuses to purchase the remaining 25 IC2 TWINDEXX sets (5 cars + one loco) from bombardier due to continued problems with the software (aka features). The features include: - The loco and the 5 cars are a set and cannot be uncoupled. One car stops working? That’s it, whole train stops working. You can’t switch out the car and the whole set needs to be repaired. - When reversing, computers crash and take about 30 minutes to reset, if that even succeeds. - The second iteration sets feature a dark mode. Meaning that randomly the lights refuse to turn on. - The first iteration made people motionsick due to uncontrolled swaying. Furthermore the sets are not equipped with the modern ETCS system, even though they should have been. The 25 sets are valued at approximately 400M euros, and are currently in the final stages of production. These trains aren’t the only high profile trains DB has in its possession which are plagued with issues; the ICE4 sets are also plagued with software issues and faster than normal wear and crack formation in the carriage frames, which also prompted DB to hold all future orders of new ICE4 sets (also produced by bombardier). source: https://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/deutsche-bahn-ic-1.4773380
