It will be an interesting day when a car has to be actually rebooted before it will drive.
I wonder which manufacturer will be the first to suffer that embarrassment?

hi Hazel! I hope not! The good news is that cars are getting safer, not just after a crash (in the way they protect passengers with airbags and the like) but also in the way they assist in preventing crashes – with innovations like anti-collision systems! As for the name, well, we’ll have to see …

Will that mean we have to come up with a new term for crashes?
