For a moment there, I thought you were, through the slang meaning of the word "mobile," referring to that exchange between billg and that car company:

Gates: "If cars had developed at the same rate as computers, today we'd have vehicles that cost five dollars, get a million miles to a gallon, etc. ....."

The other guy: "But if cars had developed at the same rate as computers, we'd have to push the Start button to turn them off."

They'd crash every few minutes, etc. I think that was GM's CEO.

And every 50 miles your engine would quit for no reason. The only way to get it going again is to reinstall the engine.

The only way to brake would be to upgrade your engine.

The company you bought the car from would be able to take control of your car from remote.  If you didn't pay your licence fees the door locks wouldn't unlock.

And if it breaks down as soon as you drive it off the lot, it's YOUR fault. No warrantys expressed or implied.

You need to hire a personal exterminator to keep all the varmints out of your car. You need to replace this personal exterminator with a more qualified exterminator at least on a weekly basis. Undoubtedly, even then some varmints will get into your car. Most of them seem to hang out by your mailbox waiting for you to pull up. They climb right in when you open your window to get your mail.

IF MS designed cars, people would find things in them that would make the cars explode.  MS would call them irresponsible for disclosing the flaws without giving MS six months to fix them.  To fix the flaw you would have to take the car in to the shop to be "patched" and agree to let them install a bunch of DRM stuff in your stereo, and agree to let the mechanics come over to your house at any time to install stuff on your car without asking.
