Aviation standards are the way they are because if you have an engine problem you can’t pull over to the side of the road. But yes, something approximating these for road conditions is a good idea imo.

Part of me thinks the reason they are doing an integrated system is a combination of economics and convenience for 3 letter agencies to remotely assassinate ppl.



Having an engine problem on a back road is one thing, having a software-system-integration-what-the-hell problem on a Autobahn at 180 km/h +/- is a different story. And yes, I do not want my family in the car at that moment.


Having an AC problem in death valley in the summer could be troublesome.


Yea if it affects brakes, acceleration, or steering it's a huge huge problem.


Or even just AC (think visibility).


Hey... I hear the crowd yelling "let's have a speed limit on the Autobahn, 100kph, see how we fix many problems at once" /s
