BANGKOK (Reuters) - Security guards smashed their way into an official limousine with sledgehammers on Monday to rescue Thailand's finance minister after his car's computer failed.
Suchart Jaovisidha and his driver were trapped inside the BMW for more than 10 minutes before guards broke a window. All doors and windows had locked automatically when the computer crashed, and the air-conditioning stopped, officials said.
'We could hardly breathe for over 10 minutes,' Suchart told reporters. 'It took my guard a long time to realize that we really wanted the window smashed so that we could crawl out. It was a harrowing experience.'
Anyone know what OS was involved? I know which one I would guess....

Oh great so now Gates wants to start killng people eh?
The iDrive is a totally failed concept. Difficult to control, too many options, and it takes concentration away from the road. People who can afford this car are not nescessarily going to be tech inclinded either. You need a day of training to learn how to use the thing.
Jaguar have got it right with their latest XJ - their view that technology shouldn't ever get in the way of the driving experience, and the new XJ is testament to this.

... before guards broke a window...
