Picture yourself driving down the highway at 100 km per hour, and your car system crashes, locking your wheels, steering, braking system, doors - and even airbags

car would be in the garage every day downloading updates, then every six months the engine would have to be re-installed because it wouldn't work properly. so the answer would be no.

Alot of cars have built-in electronics nowadays so why not ? If it is tested like any serious crash test's then yeah maybe but I prefer mechanics than electronics
