@BeAware@Free_Press Many years ago, I had a lecturer in computer science who had worked on one of the first "fly by wire" systems installed on commercial passenger jets - I forget which one. Which as I understand it (admittedly very limited) means there was no physical linkage between the pilot's controls and the actual hardware-steering, etc. So the system could override the pilot
He refused to fly on one. I think of this occasionally
He was also full of shit so make of this what you will. ๐
@goatsarah Had to get a part from Spain for my car the other week because it had sprung a worrying leak (and the aprt from Mitsubishi was an eye-watering cost). The part? A plastic bag. My vehicle - designed for at least some off-road use relies on a plastic bag to work.
