      I am a software engineer and a computer science student but I would prefer a car which has no software whatsoever.https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1325090753509535747 …

      Teslas aren't just electric cars, they're software cars. From the way legacy automakers phrase their announcements about switching to electric, it sounds like they still haven't grasped that.

      You can have one. Just buy any car made before about 1975.

          I share that sentiment. Def software is making it a hell of a lot safer, but I love working on motorcycles and cars and that is getting near impossible. I wonder if a culture of software mod in auto comes similar to the mechanical mod culture. Rooting for it.

          or just buy carburetor car - usually these were mechanically controlled, not via ECU, as with injection-type engines. Some of the cars could have been even made after 2000 - https://auto.ru/moskva/cars/vaz/2105/used/?utm_source=google_adwords&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=id-1535443096_place-gsearch_geo-msk-r1_type-legkovye-dsa-model-used&utm_content=idgr-103499761611_cat-model-used-dsa-vaz-2105_land-vaz-2105-used-list_view_geo-msk-r1&gclid=CjwKCAiAqJn9BRB0EiwAJ1SztQq9E3exGA4lO-uYguVQBvLaunMjx6Yud1AlWrSmwMvrfHltuQT7PxoCUrAQAvD_BwE …

          In US market, the last carburetor car that was sold is 1995 (Light Truck) : Toyota Pickup with the 22r 2.4 L inline 4. (source: wikipedia)

          Not even that one. Look for a horse drawn carriage. No. not that one. Just get a wheel.

          He sound like guys who write SQL codes on a straight line.. No indentation. The beauty of computer science. If you integrate multiple system in 5 continent and watch them dance synchronously... Or implement Swarm Intelligence for a sorting system...

          Try finding a refrigerator made without software! The ones from 1975 mostly don't work any more.

          I think what he means is one in which the consequential decisions (in this case directly related to driving) are being made by humans. You have software running all around a patient in hospital yet you don't say that those machines are medical practitioners.
