It makes me wonder. All this 'safe' technology going into cars. Does it
really help to have 895 PIC 2010XXX processors 'looking after' our
driving habits, or is it slowly eroding our abillity to drive a car with
confidence? A lot of commuters think they can drive a car, until
something happens out of the ordinary, and then they find out they
can't. It's amazing that upteen zillions of dollars can be spent on
gizmos for cars, but no one is interested in going back to basics and
making sure the driver is capable of driving in the first place, and to
do this on a regular basis.

That's progress I suppose.

It probably sounds silly to some, but I regularly 'throw' my car around
just so I know how it handles in wierd situations. (When it's safe to do
so of course)

Speaking of cars, I've just been told that I may have to come up with
something to remote control a car travelling at 100KPH. I wonder if a
PIC is up to the task.
