Apparently, there is noise about incorporating such hardware into
*automotive* designs (!).  I would have thought the time between
POSTs would have rendered that largely ineffective.  OTOH, if
you imagine a failure can occur ANY time, then "just after
putting the car in gear" is as good (bad!) a time as any!"
Hi Don,
We were lectured by a person whom an expensive-German-car manucfaturer paid to help make cars, but he told us that this rich German company did not pay him enough to buy 1 of these cars so he drives a cheap car from a different company. He might endanger a client's clients' lives, but less so his own (though of course a malfunctioning German car could crash into him).
