Joking of course, but "try resetting it" seems to be the new mantra going over pit to car radios.I mean seriously,why do we let computer designers do this to us?! A PROPERLY designed computer should NEVER need a reset !!Get it together you retarded nerds

Personal experience is to say that it is usually an interface that fails, not the computer itself. A Reset my be a component reset, not the entire computer.

Could be worse. Having to take the wheel off to reset.

Go back to earth, you bimbo: computers (whatever brand and technology) are machines, and machines may get into troubles! For instance, they had to reset several times the computers on board the Apollo spaceships and the ISS as well, and don't tell us that those computers were designed by some retarded nerds!

These are automotive engineers, not computer scientists. They don't have time to go through all the wiring and lines of code to figure out what's wrong. Turning the computer off and on is just the first step in troubleshooting. It's like making sure the monitor is plugged in and turned on.

A mission critical (or safety critical) system is generally programmed either using a realtime OS or with no OS as all, programming all OS control needs directly in the program on the chip. Apply power, it starts running.
And that code is vetted and tested far more extensively than just about anything else. Otherwise you get this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariane_5_… . Or the Therac-25.
But the more code you add, the more potential you have to introduce failure points. Ideally all your failure points should be soft recoverable, but that's not 100% possible, so there are some failures which will inevitably be non-recoverable.
This likely is the fact that considering they have the engineers and probably one CS guy in the garage, they are taking a certain level of issues as acceptable, with the reboot as acceptable as a remedy.

You mean to tell me that thermal and component failure happens? It's not just a possibility of poorly written code? LOL.

Really "retarded nerds"? Classy.
