$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Outcast_Searcher', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('C8', 'I') have considered redundancy- and its amazing how many redundant systems crash anyway. In fact, the complexity added by all the redundancy can be a source of the crash (and provide many, many extra entry points for hackers).
Of course car navigation systems do not have the luxury of being taken off-line to troubleshoot problems- people will be using the system 24/7 and expect it to work continuously- any sudden take down of the system for diagnostics would lead to multiple crashes
The irony of all this is that we are discussing this on a website that repeatedly crashes!

So let's pretend that because computers aren't perfect, they can't possibly do things.
Oh wait, since you're on here, you obviously use computers. If you drive a modern car, it's already full of computers.
But let's all be Luddites and be afraid to make any progress, even slow and careful progress (as is being done with autonomous car develpment), because something might go wrong.
And let's lie and state that car navigation systems can't be taken offline to try and make our point. Because, gosh, no individual car could EVER be taken offline.

And no roadway system in a localized area could ever be taken down for a while, even if it were scheduled down ahead of time at a minimum traffic time, for testing.

Because no traffic testing facility could possibly exist to test self driving cars, even though such facilities already exist.
And we all know how widespread cries of computer doom are always correct. Look how accurate the doomer foresight was on Y2K, for example!
Your credibility is looking like that of the constant hard economic crash proclaimer who knows nothing about economics.
Name calling, strawman, card stacking, generalization, exaggeration, tons of emoticons- you are pretty thorough in your use of propaganda techniques! Let me know when you develop a real argument.
