There's another future where Yugoslavia is the birthplace of a free software movement, and homebuilt PCs lower the barrier of entry to anybody with some time on their hands, with software distributed by radio and powerline until the advent of internet.

Nah, I'll take a fuel gauge that changes how full it says you are if you're going uphill or down hill and only starts going down once the tank is half empty over the "x miles left" where it tries to guess how much fuel you'll use, leaving you with no idea how much fuel you actually have.
