Notes

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.
