What do you think all those warning icons on your instrument panel mean in your car?

[Daniela1982]

Here is my guess. What are your guesses?

[WindAtMyBack]

I did some electronic design for an automotive company. Here's how it works.

A new microprocessor comes out. It has a new feature that the engineers or programmers want to use. Then they think, "As long as we already have this new fancy processor, let's see what else we can do with it.". Then somebody says, "Hey, why don't we make a bunch of new icons?". Then somebody else asks, "Why?". Then the first person says, "Because we can.".

Then you have to convince the marketing department why you have this new stuff. That's easy. All you have to do is say, "It's cool". Marketing departments love cool. As soon as you say "cool" they go nuts and start planning how to show off all the new cool stuff at the next trade show.

So that's why you have half the electronic stuff on cars.

Wait until you put those things on bicycles.

[Ryfyle]

Bikes have it pretty hard as is. Considering there now made from aluminum foil and smug.

This is from the Babylon Bee. At least THEY admit women can't drive!

There's a surprise in her uterus, is all.

The funniest thing is, I don't even own a car or drive! I just wanted to make some snarky, mean jokes today!

[Surely]

The sad part is. You still need to pay your car doctor hundreds of dollars to tell you that they have no idea why that light is on!
With all of the computers built into cars today. The car should be able to tell you what is wrong and how to fix it. With out taking it to the mechanic.
My EV still has the engine icon! WTF!

[Daniela1982]

They have an app for your phone so you can tap into your car's computer and give you the code for what the problem is. Or take it to Auto Zone and they can do it for you.

[Surely]

@daniela1982. A good friend of mine has a pretty good code reader. So most codes I can read. Unfortunately some garages will still charge you to put their reader on.
Then there is the problem of having to reprogram new parts. That can only be done at the dealership!

[TheoPfeifle]

AutoZone... O'Reilly... Both will read your codes... Free

[Daniela1982]

That's "Stealership" to you.

[Surely]

@daniela1982. I just got a price on windows. Not all criminals are in jail!

[exitseven]

Tis is got to be the funniest thing you have ever posted. I drove a car with a bad O2 sensor and that first light stayed on the whole time. I wanted to just yank the wires out of it but I could not reach it.

[Likes2drive]

They really are idiotic lights. I like the one where the genie grants your wish 😊

[Massageman]

Maybe the Babylon Bee knows about the ones past the Engine Warning light, Oil Pressure and Wiper Fluid Low warnings.

[888theGreat]

My truck and Corvette are too old to have these

[Daniela1982]

Time for an update.

[888theGreat]

I will sell you my corvette for $9.500 , that is milk money in California.

[888theGreat]

You not playing my Movie Quote trivia game?

[Jenny-Marie]

I love them but to me they mean spending big money.

[Zolly99999]

I know what they all mean lol... I'm big into cars...

[Anonymous]

I call them dummy lights, but they do serve a purpose.

[AndrésC64]

I love those answers! 😆

[moonpie89]

Love this so funny 😁 😂 😀 🤣

Roflmao!
