Until there's a return to common sense. In the interim, you still can't fix stupid. Besides that, there's a good chance that overly-complex vehicles will be the least of our worries. 1

stavanzer Posted August 21, 2024 Posted August 21, 2024 When I was working at the Acura Dealer in the 1990's we used to have jokes about replacing the "Steering Wheel Actuator", but with self driving cars there probably really is a steering wheel actuator......?
