Nasty software bugs in 40 million cars sold on a global basis?

Only incidents are a broke grifiter with a failed porn site, who’s Prius is about to be repossessed and a cop in a Lexus loaner with floor mats that do not fit.

40 million cars with glitchy software would be crashing in every town. This is an Obama, trial lawyer, Goobermint Motors & UAW shakedown to get UAW leaches in transplant non-union factories.

"The electronic systems in modern cars and trucks — under new scrutiny as regulators continue to raise concerns about Toyota vehicles — are packed with up to 100 million lines of computer code, more than in some jet fighters." from this source.

Also there is a very interesting technical, business, and computer/software risk occurrence and "screw up" reporting site called The Risks Digest that is well worth looking at from time to time if you are interested in monitoring this kind of thing. It also has an RSS feed that you can subscribe to.
