Custom (Real) Vehicle interface advice Python vs C++

edit

Hey guys,

I wrote a custom node that subscribes to the accel, brake and steer commands outputted by autoware and routes it to a custom PCB (via USB) that we designed which has manual and remote emergency stops and converts the digital signals to analog signals for the installed drive by wire system (old aevit system). Most code in autoware is written in C++ but i used python as it was just easier for me to do.

Question:

Is there any real benefit by using C++ in this case? I am aware it may be better with time sensitive data but since linux is already not a real-time system does it matter?

Thanks!
