Cars vs. Computers
==================

     When Silicon Valley wants to look good, it measures itself against
     Detroit.  The comparison goes like this:  If automotive technology had
     kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades, you
     would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top
     speed of 10,000 miles per hour.  Or you could have an economy car that
     weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas.  In
     either case the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50.

     In response to all this goading, Detroit grumbles:  Yes, but would you
     really want to drive a car that crashes twice a day?
