Computers inexplicably don't do what you want them to do all the time, though. Modern cars, by contrast, are incredibly reliable even with extremely insufficient maintenance.
- Delk 6y agoCars are also much simpler tools than computers in terms of the variety of things people want to do with them. Car analogies applied to computing tend not to be very good, at least partially for that reason.
- mondoshawan 6y agoI beg to differ: my Mazda MX-5 has a lane departure warning system that flatly gets it wrong all the time. My prior car, a Scion iA, mis-triggered the "smart city breaking" on the freeway and nearly caused an accident. The infotainment system fails bluetooth connections inexplicably, and flatly refuses at accept CarPlay or Android Auto connections periodically. And I keep my cars clean and current with maintenance. Are these parts not part of the car?
- AnonC 6y agoAren’t some of those parts actually computers in the car that don’t work as expected?
