    It’s critical that the software that controls the drivetrain, brakes, etc. be as perfect as it possibly can be because of the first point.

    No one is arguing this point.

    Adding more features increases the likelihood of something going wrong.

    I don’t understand why this is even an argument. It’s common sense.

    You’re making an assumption, an incorrect assumption, and you’re arguing a strawman.

    As someone whose career was software development, and who worked on critical mission devices, I’m aware of the importance of the software working properly, and I still stand by my point.

    Nothing you described would cause failure when the vehicles parked and not being driven, just because you’re using the onboard computer.

    Hell, even when driven, having the passenger watching Netflix movie on the monitor will not cause the vehicle to crash and kill them (notice I said passenger, not driver).

    Or are you also advocating the removal of any graphic map displays and GPS, bluetooth music software, etc., that’s are in computerized vehicles as well, and which is actually using when the vehicle is driven?

    Cars are already computerized. What you are arguing for hasn’t been a case for many years.

    I don’t think there’s any more to be gained by discussing this further. I can’t make it any clearer. Good day.

    Before you go, I’d love to hear your opinion on the last point I made, about cars already being computerized and having features for many years, that you would deem as being hazardous to have?
