Software and Cars

With the amount of software that is currently found in today's automobiles - amazing to see in this article (http://bit.ly/aeWLlm) that the NHTSA does not employ any electrical or software engineers.

With the effort going into chasing down the gremlins (is it ok to discuss gremlins in a car that isn't a gremlin?) in the Toyotas - I'd expect that we'll start to hear much more about electrical and software engineers being involved in judging, measuring and auditing the safety of automobiles.
