When Your Car Gets The Blue Screen Of Death
from the electronics-everywhere dept
It's not a new story, but as automobiles become more reliant on new electronics systems, there are more and more stories about cars with bugs. Unlike with traditional mechanical problems, often these electronics problems are hitting high-end luxury cars first, since they are more likely to have "bleeding edge" level electronics systems in them. What's scary, though, as these electronics move further into critical systems within the car, more of these stories have safety implications, rather than just amusing anecdotes about windows that don't open.

Drive by wire is already in prototype stage. Think about losing control of the STEERING due to a software bug.

windows that won't open
That's what I love about my 68 Pontiac convertible - it is a simple car - but very easy to work on

BSOD is the right term
Many cars include a Windows CE computer.
