"If the auto industry had developed technology like the computer industry, we would all be driving vehicles with the following characteristics:
For no reason whatsoever, your vehicle would crash...twice a day.
Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new vehicle.
Occasionally, your vehicle would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the vehicle, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your vehicle to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
Macintosh would make a vehicle that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Vehicle Has Performed an Illegal Operation" warning light.
The airbag system would ask, "Are you sure?" before deploying.
Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your vehicle would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
Every time a new vehicle was introduced, vehicle buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old vehicle.
You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off."
