Good question. Our ECU is probably not one has artificial intelligence
in it. It is not a completely dumb box either. It has certain level of
intelligence that handles a lot of situations we put on the WBX that
are supposed to be discussed on everyday but Frydays.

But seriously, it is an excellent idea to have a smarter ECU that can
learn about the driver's driving characteristics. Has that being done
anywhere? I think that should be done on American made trucks.
