19. Hope they are more accurate than my on-board computer
If you were to take a 3-5 second snippet from my on-board computer at any given time, it would show a quite different picture from the one that is actually happening. For instance, it takes a second or two for the computer to register changes in acceleration and/or braking (as evidenced by the 'instant' MPG readout). It also has difficulty exactly determining the fuel consumption and so-forth.
So, let's hope the auto manufactures have a better computer in the 'black box' -- but let's not hold our breath.
