RE: Ecm role expanding?

["Marteney, Steven J." <smarteney@xlvision.com>]

Yes, but I'm sure they'll have a fault detection system that detects an
erroneous WOT command and automatically turns on traction control?  Or
should you turn it off? Or, should you.... <crash>

Yup..caddy's BCM's done this since the early 80's, my park ave is controlled

by the BCM, the late model caddy's have a water sensor on the sunroof, or 
windshireld as Bruce said and turns the lights/wipers on automatically.

Nice to diagnose problems with such a simple system huh?

What scares me is this drive by wire deal thats in the new cars. Suppose the

ECM in a corvette is having a bad day and goes WOT on its own...nice huh? I 
know the default, or failsafe id idle, but you never know...
