*ON*-topic car question

[Jason McBrien]

The Wiki entry says the electronics package for the car cost a TON,
and, since the CRTs were just used for instrumentation, I'm guessing
it was a custom, from-scratch job.

The Buick Reatta from the early 90's had a relatively advanced
touch-screen computer that controlled A/C, the radio, the trip
computer, and a basic calendar. I think it was all custom hardware as
well.
