I don’t believe in global warming.

I am a professional, having 2 degrees in Computer Science, made my living the past 25 years in CS.

Think about it - what if your car crashed everytime your windows computer did?

I don’t want computers slapped into everything to give them more “features” nobody wants anyway, make the less reliable, less safe and harder to work on.

Essentially, I am the guy who works at the Brand X sausage factory saying, folks, you might not want to eat this type of sausage.

I am sure you are expert in some things, and can tell the smoke from the fire there. Steve Wozniak of all people don’t think non-redundant computers running everything in your car is a bright idea. (He invented the apple II computer)

“Think about it - what if your car crashed everytime your windows computer did?”

You’re using a lot of dirty debate tactics, but this is one of the worst. Just because a car’s electrical system can be said to “crash [#1]” when it malfunctions does not mean the car will “crash [#2],” i.e. to undergo sudden damage on impact.

Firstly, not only is there no evidence of a widespread problem with computer malfunctions (let alone property damage, injury, and death), there isn’t much non-anecdotal evidence of it at all. Secondly, even if there were, computer malfunctions do not turn cars into unguided missles. If you know what you’re doing you can save yourself.
