Got a letter today from Merc central to tell me that there was a recall on my new car for a software update on the emergency help system that I didnt know that I had. But, and this is the dodgy bit, the car will download and install this software update automatically and without any action on my part.
My car could end up chatting to some bird in Dusseldorf . Could it suddenly start driving on the wrong side of the road? Might it be checking up on where I take it and reporting back to HQ? For that matter could it suddenly decide to head towards Poland?
This level of efficiency is entirely alien to a British motorist. I shall buy a Jag next time round.
P.S. Enjoy the avatar. Wont be there much longer. I have been daft and sold the boat
