I just bought a new car, I'll keep the brand name a secret.
The manufacturer suggests to have the radio on all the time. If you turn the radio off, the car will still work, but you cannot change its state, IE, if you're going 85 MPH and turn off the radio, the car keeps going that speed. If you're turning right, the steering wheel stays turned to the right if you turn off the radio. If you step on the brakes and turn off the radio, the car keeps them applied.
The manufacturer claims the car's engine and main functionality is independent of the radio, and you still can operate it. But you lose basic functionality when you turn off the radio.
The manufacturer decided to tie in the radio with the basic functionality of the car after it noticed a particular radio manufacturer having its radios in most cars.
The car manufacturer's claims are correct- the basic functionality of the car is changed without the radio on (if you consider the controls (brakes, accel, clutch) a base functionality.
Have you been drinking? If you were attempting an analogy for the IE/OS system integration, you have failed miserably.
Either way, I'll try and respond to your absurd comparison.
The correct comparison would be - if the radio stops working, you don't get music anymore. That's it. Everything else still works. Except the radio. The car keeps going, everything works fine - except the radio.
Or better yet, try this: the radio is built into the dash, and there are controls for the radio on the steering wheel. If you remvoe the radio, you have to modify the dash to remove it, and the steering wheel controls don't do anything. You can put in another radio, but it won't be able to use the steering wheel controls. But will the radio work? Of course. Will all other functionality of the car still work? Obviously. If the radio stops working, does the rest of the car still run? Yes. |
