What's more scary is that Microsoft has some sort of contract that lets
it cover all the Foruma 1 cars. Recently, the idea of software which
takes care of hijacked cockpits was proposed and implemented. What when
the software gets hijacked and then lets some script kiddie crash
planes? The mind boggles... can you trust software more than humans? I
gets it depends /what/ software.
