Software systems are the bane of modern life. Yesterday I tried to waste my money on a lottery ticket via online account which said “we detect you are not in the country” and shut me out. If only. AI data centres require vast amounts of electrical power that doesn’t exist. Nor will it in basket case uk. HMRC won’t allow my wife to access her online account to pay the tax bill that was submitted on same site.
Like the airliners that I once flew, an Ice car, once fuelled, generated its own, self-contained, electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic systems. IMHO, over dependance on chip based systems detracts from isolation and immunity to external interference. Time will reveal the true cause of the 787 crash in India. I suspect that it was not a murderous/ suicidal Captain.
Electric busses have a secret kill switch, allegedly, as do those thousands of Chinese supplied inverters on Ed’s solar farms.
Thus far, the wife’s new mild hybrid Kodiaq has been glitch free and the fuel filler cap has not refused to open, but it will probably not be immune from future software frustrations. Good luck with your recharging. Very frustrating, especially for disabled drivers.
