A recent A Car With A Mind Of Its Own talks about a recent incident when a high-end, highly electronic car decided to ignore its driver and travel at a high rate of speed (~120 mph) thanks to an apparent defect in the cruise control system. Hitting the brakes didn’t help and he apparently couldn’t shut off the car b/c it uses a RF proximity card for entry and enabling of the ignition.
The post/article where kinda funny, but the main reason i’m posting this was this /. comment. One of the funniest comments i’ve seen in quite a while. If you follow the post link above you’ll find this comment (in context.)
