Dear Jerry and Conrad,
After thinking about a modern car having 25 or 50 or 100
million lines of code, it now seems even more understandable that GM and
Ford use a few thousand lines of code, I suppose, to synthesize oil temps
rather than have an actual temp sensor and proper gauge. I like old cars
better.
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

VW is the first to build a production auto with 100 on board computers.
Some times the door locks are erratic but they excel at passing US
government tests.
I wonder about their sister company autos.
