Articles: Humour | What if Microsoft manufactures cars?
- Prof. 00782 Maverick

'If GM had kept up with technology, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon'
GM says that if it had developed technology like MS, cars will have the following characteristics:
• Your car would crash twice a day for no reason at all.
• Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
• Your car would die on the road.
• Then you will pull over to the side, close all the windows, shut off the car, restart it & reopen the windows before you could continue.
While performing a simple task, such as a left turn...
• It will shut down & refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, 5 times as fast & twice as easy to drive - but would run on only 5% of the roads.
Oil, water temperature & alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single 'This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation' warning light.
This one's lethal!
The airbag system would ask 'Are you sure?' before deploying. Your car would lock you out & refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key & grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn driving all over again as none of the controls would operate in the same way as the old car.
You'd have to press the 'Start' button to turn the engine off. And the worst is, for some reason you would accept all this.
