Agreed, it's pretty fascinating and technically impressive what might be going on behind the scenes with these cars, even if it's also quite frustrating. Besides the fact that the car can just, on it's own, decide to cut power, I'm bothered by the fact that the end user is unable to access any of the data the car might be compiling. We should be able to generate some sort of "vehicle history report" or something. I always wonder what the heck the dealer sees when they scan my key fob...
