Now this is getting scary. So, if you switch a couple of numbers in the line of code on the car's computer, worst case is that it quits running. Well, OK, I can live with that.
However, I imagine that before I quit "driving" (or at least riding in cars), most of the cars will be "self driving". So, I take my new self driving machine back to the dealer because it keeps trying to pull off the road and trying to run into trees.
The tech says ....... OK, lets switch a couple of numbers in the line of code of the car's self driving computer and then you can take it out and see if that "fixes" it.
