Ish, you mentioned >I just bought a new Jeep and it has a chip in the key.<

That reminds me: I read in Business Week that now 15% of the cost of a car is electronics. That's expected to go to 30% in a few years.

Suppose a car costs $10,000 to make, 30% is 3,000. Times 15 million cars per year in the US comes to $45 billion.
