     @arstechnica well, as long as the honking is the only malfunction, i can live with that. But imagine just because the moon is in zenith and the air pressure is 10 ticks above average the brakes won't work or the mileage counter is exactly at 10.000 and the car suddenly starts accellerating uncontrollably and for some reason noone can't disengage the auto pilot.
