In a video documenting his experience, Entrepreneur Thomas Remo picked up his £64815.22 ($82,000) electric vehicle (EV) in Irvine, California. Remo's excitement turned sour when the truck "broke not even six inches off the lot" and "failed another 30 times" throughout the first day.

I have a lot of faith in engineers doing their job…that being said I have little faith the C-suites that run the show. In all honesty with the level of automated driving tech drive by wire is the least scary thing to me.

As a software engineer, I don't own any car made after 2008 (in part) because I don't trust the programming in modern cars. My objection is more about what the developers programmed on purpose -- e.g. this -- than bugs they may have introduced by mistake, but still, I'm not really a fan of any computerized nanny functions that are more complicated than ABS.

On a related note, this XKCD applies to more than just voting software.
