Modern vehicles have evolved from mechanical machines into complex networks of processors, sensors, and code.

    Nope. We bought a pretty dumb car. Sadly only the “entry-models” have no shit in them. At least no cloud-shit. Android-auto to not be bound to abysmal onboard-systems that require subscriptions. And that’s it.

    I love tech from the depth of my heart. But in a car I want haptic buttons and dials and no 2m long touchscreens where I can only turn on the AC when I have reception 😁

      Your car probably has an electronics module (ECM) and a power train module (PCM) at the very least. But there’s very few cars built in the last 3 decades that don’t have at least two computers in them of some kind.

      Obviously that’s not a “data center on wheels” but I hope this headline is hyperbole.

        Yeah of course our car does not run on love and solar energy :) I totally don’t worry about some tech, i worry about connected cars. Which only unavoidably leads to subscriptions for everything and tons of privacy problems.
