If your car was made in the past 15 years? It has a lot more electronics than you're considering, everything from lights to cruise control to traction control and anti-lock brakes. To the other extreme? My car is fully drive by wire with a lot of modern safety features like proximity sensors, reversing camera, lane-keeping assist, yada-yada. It's not a matter of desire. It's necessity: all this sophistication requires software to operate. -- \m/ (--) \m/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@driftwood.blu.org https://driftwood.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
