RE: "Ridiculous"

I most certainly agree, the less electronics the better. Until you can make computer equipment more reliable and less vunrable to computer attacks.

So software with all the problems the software industry has in defending against attackers with virus's, spyware, etc... what makes you thing that putting all that tech in a car would be any better? Someone could simply use an EM Pulse device to disable your car on the road or parked.

""Too much technology is a bad thing and this proves it. I don't want the other drivers around me, while on the highway, making popcorn and DLing a feature. Some people have a tough enough time with a cell phone. Can't wait to see where this goes. The part I think is really stupid, by designers, is replacing throttle cable with digital tech as I know Honda is doing. I want my gas pedal mechanical only and not digital. At least until we can get less lethal items to go a week without a bug, virus, etc..""
