I do not own an Audi, yet, but if there is one thing I learned from Audi enthusiasts, its that people who buy an Audi love the feel of driving one.So, what I cannot quite fathom is why you enthusiasts are tolerating the new DBW systems. Why aren't you objecting? Next thing it will be DBB [braking] and then DBS [steering]. Just put in the term "drive by wire" and see the automated crap that the government, vehicle manufacturers, EPA, and Insurance companies are pushing for. IT WILL be the end of your Audi enjoyment ... "Never Follow" -- yeah right!

The March 2006 ENGINEERING TIMES, has a long story about a British effort to build a completely verified microprocessor for critical applications. The story is notable in that it motivates the effort throughout by calling attention to the possibility of major accidents involving computer failure. At the start of the story is a full-page illustration depicting a snake with fangs bared, and the lead: Somewhere - at a nuclear plant, on board a missile, or at a chemical refinery, it's going to happen: a catastrophic computer-related disaster. A growing group of engineers and scientists say it's unavoidable with today's microprocessors, which they deem inherently unreliable.

PS. Contrary to what Josh the two post moron thinks, I actually like Audis very much, and he is just soooooo stupid he cannot see I want them to stay the way they are.

Nevermind this guy... He is an idiot!

^^^^^^ +1

I'd go farther and say he's a ******* idiot!!!

 

You know what? I AM SHAKING IN MY BOOTS!!!! I AM SO SCARED RIGHT.... oh wait I am not wearing any boots. (Lame I know)

You know what? I have a life. I haven't heard of any problems with anything like that. If it wasn't safe then I am SURE that they wouldn't put them in cars, non the less airplanes. If you are so scared then why don't you go buy a horse and buggy, but oh wait that wouldn't be safe either! It is TO slow and could get hit by all the cars!!!

GO GROW UP MAN... Actually wuss would be more appropriate.
