all cars today are computer crazy.  it's too friggin' easy to do stuff
digitally!  i read that the toyota pcm software that was recently
accused of unintended acceleration is a *million* lines of code.  does
that sound like a lot to you?  knowing a little something about large
software projects, it scares the willies out of me...  and what sort
of point-and-shoot drivers are we raising when every dinky little car
has not only abs but also traction control, and how deep over their
empty little heads will they be when sensors fail?

okay, rant over for today.  don't even get me started on robot cars
and hackers.
