Sure you're not thinking about GM? They're the ones who were in the news recently for those ignition issues.



Oh dear, you're right, but it's too late to edit. Please downvote to hide it.

My point though is that the fact cars would be that fragile at all, that simple mistakes could disable critical systems, is bizarre. The MP3 player system should be totally unable to affect other operations, full stop. The ignition system shouldn't be able to kill power to critical systems.

Airplane passengers shouldn't be able to access flight controls.
