Japanese Auto Makers Teaming Up To Create Standard OS
CNet is reporting that Japanese car manufacturers are teaming up to develop a standard automotive operating system. "Just as computer operating systems [...] allow multiple applications to communicate with one another, an automotive operating system enables different driving systems to work together. The standard automotive operating system from Japan will include everything from fuel injection, brakes and power steering to power windows. Currently, certain mechanical car parts are interchangeable from model to model. Smart car parts that operate off a common software standard would enable that kind of convenience to continue, while allowing them to communicate more easily with other smart components in a car."
Come on mods... this fucking piece of shit post gets a fucking funny mod, and my comment afterward gets 'Troll'? The fucking usefulness of the moderation system just took a huge nosedive. Like I give a shit about karma here after that display of stupidity. Mod me down to a fucking -5, I don't give a fuck. At least my attempt at humor had fucking something to do with the original topic.
And they said zombies weren't real!
