TheDriveChannel - Lost Control with Michele Rahal

Over the last several decades, auto manufacturers have moved their technologies towards what can only be considered more efficient systems of vehicle operation, or X by Wire. What that means is throttle, brakes, traction control, etc., these systems involve computers or more appropriate electronic control units to take over functions that in the past were mechanical in nature. Here's the inherent problem, when you introduce electronics to control steering, fuel delivery, etc. as Toyota, Lexus, and Mercedes have, the risk is increased to run into malfunctions that seem to have no trail to follow. Unfortunately these systems have become so complex that they no longer leave a trail to follow. Distributed by Tubemogul.
