Thanks to Microsoft's Windows CE, and the many, many cars on the market lately with center touch consoles (some of them powered by Windows CE)... there is a very real possibility of seeing a car BSoD. Welcome to the future... where car accidents will be caused by botched firmware updates, viruses, and driver malfunctions.

What does "BSoD" mean, OP?

Blue Screen of Death, aka a Windows stop error.

Couldn't terrorists easily hack viruses into thousands of cars and cause major accidents? If this ever happens, I hope they only stick the viruses into priuses.

Nope. Unless by "easily" you mean "years of research which includes corporate espionage".
Hacking is about to get a lot harder over the next 4-6 years as the current generation of military grade network defense algorithms begin to enter the public sphere.

See this is why increasing the amount of shit computers do for cars is a bad thing.
I'm not doubting you OP, but could I get some kind of link or source on this? I Googled "Cars BSOD" and I got a bunch of potential "what ifs" but not one confirmed case of a car losing all control and causing an accident.
Apparantly this has been happening in hybrids since 2005.
Once again, I'm sure this will be a problem we face soon, if not already, but I'd just like to get some kind of direction you're coming from on this one.

I pity any fool who owns one of the brand new fully-computerized cars which contain government kill switches and GPS tracking devices. It's like they're completely ignorant of freedom.
All you stupid fuckers and your switching to electrotechnics instead of developing mechanics.

What you just said is dumb as fuck.
How do you expect any car manufacturer to add mechanical mass to a car, robbing the gas tank for every new piece of equipment, instead of using a half ounce computer system which can do more work at the cost of electricity?

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought we're all educated here and we all know such terms as graphen and polymers.

No you did fucking not. You know as well as anyone that this community is full of special people.
and we all know such terms as graphen and polymers.
If you think graphene and polymer based mechanical computation systems have any merit in this discussion then you must be brain dead. And there is not a snowball's chance in hell that you're going to make a computerless car competitive against modern vehicles with a computer system even if the frame is compact honeycomb fairy dust and it runs on unicorn piss.

Look bitch, just because you're growin up in era of electronics it doesn't mean mechanics is ancient and unable to compete or beat electronics. In fact nowadays electronics are just additional control components to mechanics which are still backbone of machines like cars. You sure can make physical logical gates, so electronics is just a fun addition for children for real game. Like cap guns to real guns. Just go read a fucking book and realise how wrong you are.

Mechanics are nothing more than simple computers made from load bearing components. Literally everything you can do with any mechanical system can be done using a computer to replace all the dead weight and add several orders of magnitude more potential action. Literfuckingally everyfuckingthing. Show me a mechanical system made with lightweight components and I will knowingly remind you that an electron is infinitely more versatile and a trillion trillion times less massive. Hey shit for brains, how does it feel defending something you know is wrong?
Just an 02er.

Lmao. Mechanics is a whole knoledge about using physical components together. Computer is just a big calculator with functions. And yeah, you can also make a mechanical calculator.

Okay smartass, how do you replace reciever in ANY weapon with a electrotechnical parts to make it lighter and work better? How do you replace components of an engine with electrotechnical parts to make it lighter and still work? How are you going to use ANY electrotechnical equipment when there's no power? Mechanical components are more reliable if you can keep them in good shape, electrotechnical parts are vunerable in many fields mechanical ones are not.

Okay, try to replace handgun's trigger with an electron.

I would not know. You tell me. Once again, electrotechnic shit is just for more precission and control, but mechanical stuff can still do even better without them.

Actually it's russian roulette. It's a typical adjective, so we write it with a lowercase letter.
No they wont, it's impossible because when you rob a car it's called stealing not BSoD.

Paying thousands of dollars more in your insurance per year because you don't qualify for the self-driving car insurance discounts.
Driving 30-50 mph less than self-driving cars because human operators are not allowed to use the left lanes.
Begrudgingly blaming the government for your own refusal to adapt to a beneficial new technology.
Talking about how "back in my day" the police had cars instead of unmanned autonomous drones patrolling overhead at 100-300 mph along with delivery traffic.
And probably driving like an asshole near bicyclists, which is something I expect from your sort.
Just an 02er.
Looking forward to THAT.
We should focus more on energy efficiency instead of adding on more electric toys.
