[SystemSafety] more computer-automobile safety risks

[Robert Schaefer]

Hi All,

The 11 February 2016 issue of The Risks Digest (http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/29.25.html)

has a link to (http://consumerist.com/2016/02/08/more-than-100-crashes-caused-by-confusing-jeep-chrysler-dodge-gear-shifters/)
with an article titled: "More Than 100 Crashes Caused By Confusing Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge Gear Shifters” and indicates either a CAN Bus problem or mechanical problem or some interaction of the two when park is selected. 
“However, in some vehicles, the gearshift doesn’t actually move, but springs back to a centered or neutral position."
