Please point me to the software that controls the alternator&#x2F;generator&#x2F;starter motor.  I&#x27;m not talking about the <i>whole thing</i>, just the part whose failure is causing the larger failure.<p>When software controls hardware, yes things can get weirder.  But the software can&#x27;t cause magical things to happen; the atoms don&#x27;t rearrange themselves.<p>Bit flips tend to be much more like magic, if applied to the real world.  A wrench doesn&#x27;t stop working because you swap out a single atom.  But software can, if you flip the wrong bit.
