    Gees , nothing new for GM, along with Temp and Rain sense windshields 
, sun load , tire pressure monitors ,
    and HVAC , to name a few . PCMs have , OR,  Are "taking over"  , 
they've  become "deterministic" as well.
    Vehicle lane position sense , built in "breath O Lizers ", Variable

    Look @ Saab Variable Cr engine for instance . Smart cars are here Now.
    Phillips has some interesting  Dev tools too.  I personally yearn for 
simplicity !!
