[AT] OT was runaway cars/now "electronic steering"

[Mark Greer]

On military aircraft there are multiple redundancy systems to take over and 
keep it in the air in case the normal used systems fail. Money is generally 
no object when these systems are designed. Cars on the other hand will 
likely not have those multiple redundant systems due to the excessive costs. 
I don't want to be behind the wheel of a car with electronic steering when 
it fails and my turning the steering wheel does not steer the car....
