I dag fick jag lära mig den hårda vägen att moderna bilar inte är mer än datorer med hjul när en solkatt troligtvis fick sensorerna eller kamerorna att bugga ut så hårt att instrumentpanelen lyste orange och en omstart av bilen var den enda lösningen.

In this era where #vehicles are quickly becoming #ComputersOnWheels, I think we need a way to install our preferred #OperatingSystems and other softwares in them, especially #FOSS ones. #SmartCar #opensource #liberate

This week I’ve been using a courtesy car (a brand new Seat Ibiza) while our main car was being fixed.

The steering wheel has 13 #buttons plus two scroll wheels, each of which has up/down and click functionality. So you can perform a total of *19* different actions.

I love technology and I appreciate that modern #cars are just #ComputersOnWheels but having 19 different actions on a steering wheel feels too much.

Do others agree? Or am I just becoming a grumpy old man yelling at clouds?
