  7. 45 year old Wives, on the other side, usually don't have consistency checks.

  8. >> but if the logs show 100% acceleration, that just reflects the sensor value. Not that the user - or indeed anything else like a dropped handbag - actually pressed the pedal that far.

    Acceleration sensors have redundancy with consistency checks
    If a sensor fails, it is logged. And this applies to every modern car.

    No problem ever with landscape either.

  23. Nope. The cost of training is also needed on new office versions.
