it seems we may be on the brink of some great technology
back in 1998 this was said

At a computer expo (COMDEX) Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving twenty-five dollar cars that got 1000 miles/gallon." Recently General Motors addressed this comment by releasing the statement : "Yeah, but would you want your car to crash twice a day?"

you think Microsoft had anything to do with the "firmware updates"

Yeah, like installing Windows ME or 98 as opposed to Windows 2000. The former were guaranteed to crash, the latter was a bit more driver friendly. Looks like they got the Windows ME version of throttle control. It might work, but not for long.
