My experience is that there are 2 flavors of tech people and cars:
- I make computers do cool things and having software running most of my car sounds fun
- I prevent computers from doing bad things and having software running most of my car sounds horrifying
I'm in the later camp. I drive a Nissan Frontier where the only computers are the CAN bus (and maybe some specific engine parts) and an aftermarket rear view camera addon. Hand crank windows. One lock.
That's a similar view I have when it comes to voting. I work with tech, and I'd not trust any tech-only system of voting because theres so many areas it can go wrong or be exploited.
I'd accept electronic voting only if they print a paper ballot after and a spot check system is in place to confirm the counts.
I have more faith in cars and planes, as at least those have more public failures.
