gollark: Not car-scale hardware.

gollark: IIRC that's mostly just bad for longer wires, such as those in electricity grids.

gollark: I mean, practically, the somewhat worse fuel efficiency of a non-computer-controlled car is going to be worse for you than "but what if there's a nuclear war and my car doesn't work".

gollark: People seem to really like talking about EMP attacks or something despite them... not really being very plausible problems, compared to everything else.

gollark: I'm glad you provided this useful link.
