How computers control a car en route
Probably, many have seen or heard the news, as Toyota recently recalled almost millions of its cars due to problems in the braking system. So, the problem was not in the mechanics, but in the software.
How seriously computers have penetrated the control of the machine, you can see under the cut. And those who wish to read the original text in English can follow the link . For those who do not have time to follow the links under the cut, there is also a little translation for the seed (attention: a seasoned motorist may not find anything new for himself)

[Supplement after some readers' somewhat strange reaction: the following text also does not call for opposing a hedgehog — namely: some side effects of modern marketing of business class cars and AvtoVAZ product safety].
All modern cars have electronics in the brakes. Anti-lock braking system (ABS) detects whether the wheel is blocked, which can cause skidding, and corrects the mechanical pressure of the pedal, loosening the wheel lock, if necessary.
Along with ABS, an electronic injection system was installed on automobiles since the 80s. Initially, this electronics was rather a marketing move, but now it is obligatory by law, because it is impossible to automatically control the exhaust of harmful gases without an electronic injection system, and now this injection is even cheaper than a mechanical one.
For the sake of greater economy and safety of cars of recent years of production, the use of electronics in the engine and gearbox has increased. If the driver presses the gas pedal, then it is the electronics that controls the engine and transmission in order to optimize fuel consumption. Many computers in the car are designed to reduce the load on the driver, his convenience and ensure traffic safety. High-end cars have a complete set of cruise control, which works on the basis of data from the radar and monitors the safe distance to other road users and obstacles along the way. The system of mitigating the impact in such cars may even before the driver press the brakes, if he did not have time to react.
Any vehicle electronic system that regulates and modulates its movement can be reprogrammed. Today. when a car is often a means of self-expression, the quality of its electronics is ensured by salespeople and successful marketing.
Not without some side effects, however ...
PS Gentlemen affected by AvtoVAZ products! "Side effects", as is evident from the previous phrase, in this case are meant for successful marketing ! A mistake crept into the program - and the recall of huge batches of products. So forgive me generously for inadvertently caused by me your such sad memories ...
